I don’t even really like chocolate cake, but this looks so good I’m gonna try it
Update: still don’t like chocolate cake but this one is definitely a great one. The default amount of icing makes a horrifying amount tho, fair warning; I used maybe 75% of it and still think it was too much icing personally
Looks like a slightly fancier "poor man's chocolate cake" variation. By fancier I mean uses apple sauce and soy milk. So fancy! Which is great. By all means if you need a cake and have applesauce this is probably excellent.
A restaurant near me used to make delicious chocolate cake but shut down during initial covid lockdowns. I love nora cooks but idk why i never thought to check for a chocolate cake recipe. Going to have to give this a try
Edit: i have successfully recruited the MiL to assist next time she visits 😅

Her vanilla cake recipe is also very good too if you prefer that! https://www.noracooks.com/vegan-vanilla-cake/

Nora Cooks is always my first place to go for recipes. She keeps recipes simple and good; perfect for iterating on and expanding.

When do you not need a cake?

Honestly, this is plenty worth going out of your way to make even if you don't have applesauce. It has a 4.96/5 with thousands of reviews for a reason
