Knock-Your-Socks-Off Vegan Chocolate Cake image

This is our go-to cake recipe now. After years of making 'depression cake' for our egg- and dairy-allergic son, we finally discovered that xanthan gum is the necessary ingredient for combating crumbly cake! This can easily be a vegan cake, or a not-necessarily-vegan cake, you throw together with stuff in your pantry! Cool completely, frost as desired, and enjoy!

The frosting was a bit too runny for my taste, but the cake itself was delicious.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I may have overmixed the batter.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I was a bit skeptical about making a vegan chocolate cake, but I was pleasantly surprised. This cake was so good, I couldn't tell that it was vegan.
