A family recipe over 100 years old that has been passed down from generation to generation - the chocolate cream cheese cake or more classically known as "The Aunt Ruby Cake". Traditionally made in a bundt pan with oil, eggs, sugar, and buttermilk.
It has taken me years to finally get everything perfect, but I have completed that task this year. My family recipe is now whole food plant-based SOS-free and tastes just as good as the original recipe.
One of my favorite recipes I have ever created for you guys and something I am very honored introducing to your family.
Perfect for any special occasion -- Valentine's Day (hint hint!)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a high-speed blender mix together the cream cheese filling except chocolate chips until smooth. Move the filling to a bowl and fold in dark chocolate chips.
Set aside.
In a large bowl mix together all of the dry cake batter ingredients.

We miss my great-great Aunt Ruby very much and think of her every time I make this recipe.
To be gluten-free, does it need to be buckwheat flour, or will another flour be successful?
I LOVE you!!! This is the BEST WFPB cake recipe I’ve found. Shamefully...I ate the entire thing (by myself) in three days.
I made this for A Valentine’s Day treat, and let me tell you it’s for real! Omgoodness this is by far one of my favorites you’ve created for the community! Thank you for your generous offerings 🙏
