YOU WON’T BELIEVE THIS VEGAN CHOCOLATE CAKE HAS NO EGGS OR DAIRY 🍫

So rich, so moist, so chocolatey... it might ruin all other cakes for you.

Whether you’re vegan, lactose-intolerant, trying out dairy-free baking, or just love good cake—this is the one recipe you need.

This isn’t one of those "good for a vegan cake" situations. This is just plain good. Period.

We're talking:

• Ultra-moist crumb
• Deep chocolate flavor
• Fluffy, rich frosting
• Simple pantry ingredients
• Foolproof steps, even if you're not a pro baker

Let’s dive in.

 What Makes This Cake Magical?

Because somehow, it:

• Has zero eggs or dairy
• Needs only one bowl
• Uses no weird ingredients
• Comes out better than most bakery cakes

How? A few smart swaps (like vinegar for eggs and coffee to deepen the cocoa) make this recipe feel like science meets sorcery.

🛒 Ingredients

For the Cake:

• 1½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar (cane sugar or coconut sugar both work)
• ⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or oat/soy milk)
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• ½ cup hot brewed coffee or boiling water

Note: The coffee doesn't make the cake taste like coffee. It just makes the chocolate taste deeper and bolder. You can sub hot water if preferred.

For the Chocolate Frosting:

• 1 cup vegan butter (or thick coconut cream for a lighter version)
• 2½ cups powdered sugar
• ½ cup cocoa powder
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1–2 tbsp plant milk, as needed

🧁 Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan (or two if you're layering). Set aside.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together:

• Flour
• Sugar
• Cocoa powder
• Baking soda
• Salt

Make sure everything’s evenly combined.

Step 3: Add the Wet

Now add:

• Almond milk
• Oil
• Vinegar
• Vanilla extract

Mix until just combined (don't overmix). Finally, pour in the hot coffee slowly while stirring. The batter will look thin—but trust the process.

Step 4: Bake

Pour the batter into your prepared pan(s) and bake for:

• 30–35 minutes if you're using a single deep pan
• 20–25 minutes if you're using two shallow pans

Check with a toothpick—if it comes out clean, you're done.

Let the cake cool fully before frosting.

Step 5: Make the Frosting

Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat vegan butter until fluffy. Add in:

• Powdered sugar
• Cocoa powder
• Vanilla extract

Add a splash of plant milk to reach desired consistency—thick but spreadable.

Step 6: Frost & Serve

Once your cake is completely cooled, spread the frosting generously.

Go full bakery-mode:

• Add sprinkles
• Top with raspberries
• Dust with powdered sugar
• Drizzle with vegan chocolate syrup

You do you.

🎉 Tips & Tricks

• Don’t skip the vinegar! It reacts with the baking soda to create that light, fluffy texture.
• Coffee > water. Always. It takes the chocolate flavor to the next level.
• Want to make cupcakes? Bake for ~18–20 mins at the same temp.

Store in an airtight container at room temp for 2 days or fridge for up to 5.

🧠 But Wait—Is It Actually Good?

Yes. This cake passes the ultimate test: non-vegans don’t even notice. It’s been called:

“The only chocolate cake I’ll ever eat again.” “Dangerously good.” “Better than most bakery cakes—and I’m not even vegan.”
