Notes

  1. Serve this cake the same day you make it if you use gluten free flour substitutes. This will help avoid it being too crumbly.
  2. You can add chopped nuts, coconut, dried fruits, chocolate chunks, or any fillings you like.
  3. Replace the oil with applesauce if you'd like to decrease the calories.
