This Eggless Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake… and Better!

It is an Eggless and Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake with a rich and decadent chocolate flavor and a moist texture that melts in your mouth. What could be better?

Most dairy-free cakes on the market are not great, and usually are very dry and even flavorless.

But this one is different! This recipe for chocolate cake is not only dairy-free and eggless, but it is also one of the best chocolate cakes we have ever tasted.

It turned out amazing in every way! Flavor. Texture. And, the Ease of making it.

Best part? This chocolate cake is so good, you won’t need to add any frosting either…What’s-So-EVER!

Tell Us About this Eggless Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake

Recently, some of my family members became allergic to eggs and dairy. And, since we made our first No-Bake Dairy-Free Chocolate Cream Pie, I thought, how can I make a chocolate cake that is very moist and not dry …without any eggs and butter? 

Well, for this recipe, I knew how to use Silken Tofu in place of eggs and olive or vegetable oil in place of butter. And, it was figuring out how much of each to give me the texture I needed.

After a few batches (and a few flops), I found the right amount of ingredients.  I am happy to tell you – I think it is close to perfection!  (Well, only to my standards) 

So I hope you will enjoy this recipe for this amazing chocolate cake too!  Although I should have named it “The Most Amazing Chocolate Cake Ever” …rather than calling it an Eggless Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake. 

Nevertheless, the title is fine for now. 

A red box of flour, a cup with oil, a box of Hersey's cocoa, almond milk, and a package of soft Tofu on the counter.

Ingredient Needed:

For this chocolate cake recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups Swans Down Cake Flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 2 tsp. baking soda
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 + 1/2 cups sugar
  • 3/4 cup vegetable or olive oil
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 tsp. instant coffee
  • 3/4 cup Silken Tofu
  • 1/2 cup Almond Milk
  • cooking oil spray
  • powdered sugar, as garnish
  • one bundt cake pan

Why use Swans Down Cake Flour over All-Purpose?

For over 100 years, bakers have preferred Swans Down Cake Flour. That’s because it is made from soft winter wheat and has been repeatedly sifted so that it is 27 times finer than all-purpose flour.

It does not contain a leavening agent or salt. Regardless, it’s a perfect flour for all your special baking recipes. Because it’s been sifted so many times, this cake has an exquisite, moist, and light texture. No need to sift the flour, it’s already done for you.

3. In a measuring cup, mix one cup of water with 2 teaspoons of instant coffee. Or you can use one cup of brewed coffee, but it must be cooled.

4. Next, add the oil and the cup of coffee to the dry mixture. With an electric hand mixer, beat on medium to high speed for about 1 minute. Add Tofu and vanilla extract, and beat for about 2 minutes until you have a smooth texture. The,n pour in Almond milk and beat on low speed for 1 minute.

5. Transfer the cake batter into the prepared Bundt pan.

6. BAKE in the middle of the oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You need to allow the cake to Cool Completely before removing it from the pan, 1 to 2 hours.

7. Gently flip the cake onto a cake plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar on top. Store the cake covered at room temperature.

Important Recipe Tips

  1. Do Not Over Bake: It’s a good idea to check the cake after 42 minutes, and insert a toothpick in the center, and if it comes out clean and dry, the cake is done.
  2. Cake Must Be Cooled Completely: After the baked chocolate cake has completely cooled, you find it is difficult to get the cake to come out. First, take a knife and gently slide it around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake from its sides. Then, carefully tap the bottom of the pan on a cutting board to loosen the cake from the bottom. Then flip it over onto a cake plate.
  3. Best To Store the Cake: Cover the cake with clear wrap and keep it on your counter at room temperature, or you can keep it chilled in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 4 days.
