    Incredible!
    Very moist and delicious! I made a buttercream frosting to go on top, but this cake would be fantastic without it! Highly recommend! I will make again! - 10/10/11

    This is a fantastic recipe - but could you please be sure to give credit to FatFreeVegan.com, as this is Susan's recipe from there. Not sure if you were aware of that. - 4/4/10
