This chocolate cake is moist, light and 100% butter-free! Don’t be surprised when you see the pumpkin puree and coffee in the recipe – you can’t taste either, promise. The pumpkin adds moisture and the coffee somehow intensifies the chocolate flavor (it’s cake magic)

Plus, there’s a recipe for a butter-free frosting!
