THE ULTIMATE VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE

Can we please just take a minute to drool over that picture? Seriously. I want to lick the screen, why oh why doesn’t my screen taste delicious and like chocolate?

It is time, my friends, for the most ridiculously awesome, ultimate vegan chocolate cake. Applause, please. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you. I’m subtle I know.

I have a secret obsession with chocolate cake that stems back to my early days. Let me explain…

When I was a little kidlet, me and one of my best friends Katherine (hi Kat!), would always save up our loonies (that’s Canadian slang for dollars), then when our parents weren’t looking, we would go and buy a big chocolate cake that they sold in the freezer section of the grocery store. This was a cake intended for a family. We would sneak it back to our rooms and then proceed to eat THE ENTIRE THING. (Mom, shhhhhh, don’t read that, shhhhh).

We were both scrawny little things so I really don’t know how we managed to do that, but kids really seem to have a knack at consuming large amounts of sugar, don’t they?

Yep, serious chocolate addicts were born. So when I say I love chocolate cake, this comes from a place of childhood sugar gluttony.
