I’m going to be totally honest here – when I made this cake, I was actually trying to make brownies. Gluten free, refined sugar free, vegan, blah blah brownies. I suppose part of the fun in being a novice “recipe developer” (cringe) with zero experience is that I never know what I’m going to get! Kidding…I usually know what I’m going to get. In this case, for example, I knew that after adding baking powder and having a good amount of flour in there that I was not likely to get the chewy brownies I was so hoping for. But I still ended up with something moist, rich, fudgey and indulgent and that’s all a girl could hope for.

Given that I wasn’t planning on making cake, I didn’t have ingredients to whip up homemade frosting but I did have Simple Mills Vanilla Frosting , pecans and Bare Natural Chocolate Coconut Chips which took the flavor to the next level. You know I’m alllll about the toppings! Make this your own by adding chocolate chips, nuts, caramel, you name it. Enjoy! xo
