Rich with Molasses and dark chocolate, this cake is addicting! Low on sugar, gluten free, egg free, and dairy free, it’s almost guilt free. I promise you, it is moist and delicious! I like plain with a cup of coffee. My kids devoured it with fresh strawberries. If you have to bring an allergy free dessert, this is the one.

Spread the batter evenly into the dish.
