Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake

 

For many years I didn’t believe that a vegan cake could be so delicious and rich. For me, who love eggs and dairy, a cake without these ingredients would be tedious and tasteless. My first vegan dessert was a real challenge and it turned out so incredibly good that I wanted to experiment more. So, my latest work is this Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake which I present to you today and it’s simply divine.
