Sugar Free and Gluten Free Sour Cream Chocolate Cake

Yes, it is sugar free, wheat (gluten) free, soy free, egg free.  It is not dairy free because we recently added dairy back into our diet.  However, if it is necessary to be dairy free, just add a teaspoon of vinegar to 1/2 cup goat or rice milk and substitute that for the sour cream in the recipe*.
