I made a vegan version of this cake and it turned out amazing! I used almond milk instead of regular milk, and I replaced the eggs with flax eggs. It was just as moist and flavorful as the original recipe.

I made a few substitutions to make this cake a bit healthier. I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour, and I reduced the amount of sugar. It still turned out delicious and my family loved it!
