Last weekend was my daughter's 4th birthday! I was hunting around for a chocolate cake recipe {her favorite} that my son could eat. I found this delicious recipe here on the Organizing Junkie website! I substituted regular flour for the gluten-free flour combo in her recipe since we don't have to eat Gluten-free!

• • • • •

 • 3 cups flour

• 2 cups granulated sugar

• 2 cups cold water

• 2/3 cup vegetable oil

• 1/2 c. cocoa powder

• 2 tsp baking soda

• 2 tsp white vinegar

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350F

• Combine all ingredients and mix on high until well combined. {I let mine keep mixing in my kitchen-aid until it's light and fluffy!}

• Pour into a greased 9"x13"x2" pan.

• Bake for 30 mins. {or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean!}

I have also made these as mini-cupcakes. I lowered the temperature to 300F {so the bottoms don't burn} and cooked them for about 10-12 minutes!}

The cake is moist, light, chocolaty... and oh so delicious!! You won't be able to have just 1 slice!

Laura, from the Organizing Junkie, also give a recipe in that post for gluten-free, dairy-free frosting. I have found a brand of chocolate frosting {Pillsbury - Fun-fetti} that is dairy-free so that is what I use on my cakes! It is super delicious on cupcakes if you put it in your kitchen-aid {or use your beaters} and set it at a med-high whipping setting. It adds some air to the frosting mix making it super light and fluffy!

{ Proof that it's delicious! }
