I got the urge to bake but realized that there were no more eggs in fridge. So glad to chance upon this vegan cake recipe by Carol & attempted it. I am not a sweet tooth person & thus I reduce the amount of sugar greatly. The chocolates used were already sweet & since I am doing a chocolate sauce to go along with the cake, I supposed it is alright to reduce the sugar. Yes, the cake turn out well & the sweetness is just nice to my liking. In fact, I feel that the cake is sweet enough on its own even without the chocolate sauce!
