Quotes:
"A chocolate cake that's so simple, quick, light, spongy, rich and completely plant-based ... well cake lovers, I have it for you here! My Almond Espresso Chocolate Cake made with Califia Farms XX Espresso Cold Brew gives it such a delicious flavour and that little espresso hit (I'm addicted) against the chocolate."
