A family recipe over 100 years old that has been passed down from generation to generation - the chocolate cream cheese cake or more classically known as "The Aunt Ruby Cake". Traditionally made in a bundt pan with oil, eggs, sugar, and buttermilk.
It has taken me years to finally get everything perfect, but I have completed that task this year. My family recipe is now whole food plant-based SOS-free and tastes just as good as the original recipe.
One of my favorite recipes I have ever created for you guys and something I am very honored introducing to your family.
Perfect for any special occasion -- Valentine's Day (hint hint!)
