This egg- and gluten-free cake is easy to make, and can be baked in two 8-inch cake pans or one 9x13-inch baking dish. It's refined sugar-free too! Frost with the Vegan Whipped Chocolate Frosting, or make a double batch of this Chocolate Avocado Frosting. I like to use natural food-based decorations. The cake pictured here is topped with dried rose petals and chopped pistachios.
