GFCF HAND-ME-DOWN Chocolate Cake

Our tried and true family recipe goes gluten free/casein free!  Honestly, it is the best chocolate cake recipe EVER.  Many will ask, "Is this cake really gluten free?"  That's when you know you got a good one.  Even my teen daughter's friends chowed it down and complimented me on the yummyness of this cake.
