Author Notes
Going gluten free has changed my life, but not my cravings. When I crave my grandmother's chocolate chip cake, this cake swoops in and saves the day. I updated my grandmother's recipe that included eggs and traditional flour to this moist and delicious treat. This tender cake is vegan, gluten free and soy free too. —Mathea
