Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake
This dairy free chocolate cake is sure to become your new favorite! It's so rich & moist, and just happens to be dairy free! It's a super easy bowl & whisk recipe, and bakes up in about 30 minutes. The chocolate fudge frosting is just as rich as a whipped ganache frosting but less finicky, so you're sure to come out with a silky smooth, stable frosting.
