Who loves a delicious homemade chocolate cake recipe that's loaded with a sweet and buttery frosting that's to die for? My family loved this recipe and I think you will too! It's a little different than your normal homemade chocolate cake because it doesn't use dairy or eggs in the recipe.

This is a Coconut Oil Chocolate Cake and to be honest you can't taste coconut at all in it. Last week after I made my Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies, I had to continue trying out different recipes with the coconut oil. I am LOVING it! Check out how easy this homemade chocolate cake is to make!

This cake is one of our new favorite chocolate cake recipes. It's so delicious with the frosting and whip cream on top. But if you would like to keep it a vegan cake, you could just sprinkle a little powdered sugar on top instead!
