David and I both really love chocolate (a little too much), so with some New Year’s resolutions that we’re determined to stick to eat less sugar, I took another look at the sugar-free options out there.

I love how easy this vegan chocolate cake is to make, while still looking really nice with it’s smooth layer of chocolate ganache.
