Here's one of my favorite cake recipes. In general, we endeavor to reduce our sugar intake (in any form). And, we still have birthday cakes. This particular recipe makes its own icing. This is a benefit not only for reducing the preparation time, but also because icing can be tricky if there are different dietary restrictions to deal with and varied levels of healthy eating. This "Hot Fudge Cake" recipe utilizes whole grain flour*, non-refined sugar, and is vegan. And, believe it or not, it passes the potluck test: most people will actually eat the serving they are given at parties and potlucks (rather than leaving it on the plate).
We've used this cake at family birthday parties. The adults tend to request it, but it has also been a "swamp" cake at a Shrek birthday party and for a no-theme-please-tween party.
Notes: The main recipe is for a 9x11 inch pan. I've added a column to increase it to fit a 10x13 inch pan. When spreading the batter in the pan, the batter will be thick, pasty.
* Young Living now offers Einkorn Flour (flour from non-hybridized wheat). We have switched to using that, and it works well with this recipe.
