The past few weeks have been tough. Trying to make allergy friendly foods has left me with a craving for everything one day and frustration the next as I try to cook two meals every night. With the kids getting out of school soon and my husband gone a lot I know making two meals every meal is going to get hard.
I need to find meals that can double up--something I can enjoy and my family can enjoy too.
Susan of Food Baby Life came to my rescue this month with this chocolate fudge cake. I'm surprising her this month as part of the Secret Recipe Club. Susan is a Mom of three and loves creating healthier foods for her family. I am so happy I get to highlight her this month! She definetely came to my rescue and helped me feel I can enjoy super decadent desserts that taste fantastic and can be served to anyone.

I'm a sucker for a piece of chocolate cake, usually paired with a nice glass of red wine. This looks like the fudgiest chocolate cake I've ever seen! Awesome pick this month 🙂
LOVE the look of that tasty chocolate cake recipe! Karen
That looks very moist and chocolaty! Definitely perfect for a chocolate craving!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! I think the hardest part about food allergies/intolerances is feeling like you're missing out. This cake has saved me on more than one occasion 🙂
Can't go wrong with chocolate cake....YUM
OOh, this looks fantastic + I'm so glad it was able to work for everyone. Yum! And Yay. =)
I just made fudge cake but not with coconut flour. New flours intimidate me even though I have them all in the pantry. Next time around I will be using this recipe. Glad you found it!
Oh that looks so fudgy and delicious!! So glad everyone was able to enjoy this fantastic treat. 🙂
This looks delicious! Love the texture.
I'm a sucker for any and everything chocolate and this fudge cake is definitely no exception. It looks amazing!
Happy (late) reveal day!
I enjoyed having your blog this month! It was a hard choice but I ended up choosing your blended root beer float and it was a hit with my whole house!
Glad you didn't have to make two treats and his fudge cake was allergy friendly.
Looks heavenly!!
Oh my goodness - this looks seriously, seriously good, and it's an added bonus that pretty much anyone could eat this. I can't wait to give it a try.
One of my fav desserts since I was a kid has been fudge cake with a nice glass of cold milk. Chocolate was the first cake I ever made and quite possible will be the very last one as well. Timeless!
Glad you found a sweet everyone could enjoy!
