Today I’m back with another dessert recipe!  I’m someone who absolutely loves chocolate, so today’s recipe is for some little chocolate cakes that are, of course, vegan!  These little cakes are absolutely delicious, but I will say that they are a bit crumbly.  It was my first time creating and baking this recipe.  I hope you enjoy anyway!
