Gluten, dairy, egg chocolate fudge cake!

I was craving chocolate the other day and the kids had a black forest cake sitting int he fridge that the neighbor gave to us....she often gives us cakes that they start and can't finish (it's just the two of them):) I really did not want to "cheat" and I'm happy to report that I am on day 10 of no cheating! Funny thing is while I crave stuff I don't crave it in such an obsessive way. I can wait to have some chocolate...where as before I felt like I had to have it NOW:)
Now doesn't this cake look yummy?

Chocolate fudge cake

3/4 cup rice milk
1/4 cup oil
1/2 cup agave (or 3/4 cup sugar)
egg replacer for 2 eggs (gluten/egg free powder you mix with water.bought at store)
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup brown rice flour mix (see sidebar)
1/8 cup pure cocoa powder
1/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips (optional)
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp xanthan gum

Bake in a greased 9 inch cake pan at 350F for about 25 min or so...the cake will be fudgey. Allow to cool in pan for about 15 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. when completely cool cut cake in half. Ice one side, put the other on top, spread more icing on the top and sprinkle with grated pure chocolate.

Icing

I just mixed some soft coconut oil with agave to taste, added a sprinkle of cinnamon, a squirt of lemon juice and a few drops of vanilla.
