I am surprised at the rating for this recipe. It tasted like bad fudge. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. Eggs and dairy definitely make a huge difference in my book. I just wanted to try this because I lacked the main two delicious ingredients.

These turned out fine when I only used 1/4 teaspoon salt and increased the chocolate by one heaping teaspoon as someone had mentioned. I tried varying the recipe for vanilla flavor, but it always turned out too dense. My husband doesn´t like it as much as when I make it with milk for him. But for me who can´t have the milk, it´s fine. I found making it into cupcakes was best.

This was super delish - my sister-in-law made it too after trying mine! All my friends are asking me for more and guess what - I actually prefer it and made it with carob chips and carob powder and never missed the actual chocolate! I love it, it's super moist and has a great presentation...very surprising...I have made this times already!

Yum! I just made a pan of 24 mini-cupcakes and they turned out really good. I have a 2 year old grandson that is allergic to eggs and another that does not like chocolate, so I omitted the chocolate and added cinnamon. This is going into my recipe database. Thanks Bridget for sharing this recipe.

I made this for someone who is allergic to eggs and we loved it. Good to know there are good recipes that are allergy friendly. Thank you for sharing!

this was really average. perhaps for someone who is used to vegan baked goods, it would taste good. but compared to more rich classic baked good, this really pales. the chocolate flavor is bland and very mild, and the cake was rather gummy. i tried this bc i had run out of eggs (not bc we were allergic or vegan.) very mediocre.

I just recently found this recipe and I am glad I did. My 2yr old daughter also suffers from severe allergies including but not limited to wheat, egg, dairy, peanut, etc. I made this cake for her 2nd birthday and it was fabulous. No one at her party even knew! I just frosted it with a reg. can of pilsbury confetti frosting and it was perfect!! The only problem I had was that the chocolate chips stuck to the bottom of the pan so I am not really sure what I did wrong. Other than that it was really fantastic. I will eventually try it with a gluten free flour but she tolerated the amount of flour in this pretty good. This is definately a recipe staple in my household. Thank you so much. This enables my tiny tot to have something sweet when she is limited by so much.

This cake is amazing - I did make a few changes: I used whole wheat pastry flour (it's the only flour I keep in the house), doubled the amount of cocoa (I also used Dutch processed, don't know if it made a difference), chocolate soy milk instead of water, 3 tablespoons canola oil and 3 tablespoons apple/prune baby food, and I added an egg white (so it's not vegan, but still dairy free). I made this for my sister's birthday - she LOVES chocolate, but is allergic to dairy. She actually had to "take a break" because it was so rich and chocolatey, but she LOVED it! The whole family did - in fact, they said I could sell it at our local coffee shop, it was so good. It really was amazingly rich, chocolatey, and moist with the changes I made. Try it - you'll love it!

I am so glad I found this recipe! My daughter has multiple food allergies. She is allergic to cow's milk, nuts & eggs. This cake turned just as good as the regualr cakes I've made or eaten. I can't believe how good it is! It is so moist! I am just glad to finally find something that she can enjoy other the usual stuff that she's allowed to have. I look forward to continuing looking for more recipes of this type. Thanks!
