My birthday and my cousin's birthday are two days apart. When we were living in New Mexico, we decided to throw ourselves a birthday party, and he said we needed to make a vegan chocolate cake. I am not a vegetarian or a vegan, and he is a vegetarian, but not vegan. I was skeptical at first, but this particular cake has become my go to whenever I need to make a chocolate cake. This isn't the exact recipe we use, but it's close: Vegan Chocolate Cake
(Lisa's Chocolate Cake)
I have also learned that my cake decorating skills need some work. My chocolate cakes end up looking kind of ugly, but they taste great!

| Chocolate ganache and pecan topping (not vegan) |

| This had a chunk missing on the side, but luckily the ganache topping and pool in the center made it better. |

| I should have followed Martha's advice by putting parchment down under the cake to catch my messy frosting job...oops. |
