This was the tastiest cake I've ever baked! I used Stevia instead of sugar. Love that it has no dairy or eggs! Perfect for everyone in our family. I'll be using this recipe from now on for any chocolate cakes or cupcakes I bake.

Very Moist cake!!! My kids loved it! I used a vanilla butter cream in the center and to frost and it was just amazing. It's so hard to make or find a recipe that does not require anY dairy and still have a great flavor and also be extremly moist! GREAT RECIPE! THANKS FOR SHARING
