The Essential Chocolate Cake (allergy-sensitive and delicious!)

It's always daunting to try out a new recipe while entertaining, especially if you've never entertained these people before and you're making a first impression.

I tried this chocolate cake this past weekend for my son's birthday and it was delicious. Very moist and a definite go-to if you are hosting anyone with an egg and nut allergy (as I was). Allergies are prevalent these days but if you're not used to cooking with the limitations in mind, it can be very challenging and you never know how the recipes will turn out. I can assure you, the recipe links below are delicious and approved by the egg/nut-allergic family I was cooking for.
