Dairy Free Chocolate Cake–All the chocolaty goodness of a classic chocolate layer cake without eggs or any dairy.
I’ve made ( and eaten) quite a few chocolate cakes in my time. This one is one of my all time favorites. It contains no eggs and no dairy milk. It’s one of the most chocolaty, moist chocolate cakes that I have ever made. Plus, it’s frosted up with creamy chocolate frosting..no dairy in that either!
Ingredients List
- Flour + Salt+Baking soda
- White sugar
- Coconut palm sugar
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Almond or Cashew milk
- Plant based butter
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla
Coconut Palm Sugar
None on hand? Feel free to use brown sugar as a replacement.
Plant Based Butter
I like to use Country Crock. It’s not very expensive and has been easy to find in many of the grocery stores that I’ve shopped at. Actually, I use this in all my recipes. It’s just as creamy as regular butter and you won’t miss the dairy at all. Check out your butter section at your local store and see what they have, you may be surprised. If you are unable to find one you like, you can replace it with a neutral tasting oil ( canola/sunflower/vegetable).
Supply List

Recipe Notes
- Don’t over mix your cake batter. Simply mix it together until no dry spots are left in the batter. Over mixing can give you a dense cake.
- Frosting: I have included a chocolate frosting recipe. However, you can use your favorite frosting recipe in any flavor. Being that this is a simple chocolate cake, any flavor will go with it.
