Notes

Adapted from Bon Appetit and my Chocolate Cake with Pumpkin Spice Frosting
*You can blitz unrefined cane sugar in the blender to make your own refined sugar-free powdered sugar if desired.
**If you prefer not to use coffee, sub the called for amount with unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice.
