Egg-less Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake

Since we recently made our No Bake Dairy-Free Chocolate Cream Pie, I thought how can I make a chocolate cake that is moist without the eggs and butter? 

Well, for this recipe, I knew how to use silken, soft Tofu in place of eggs, and vegetable oil (or olive oil) in place of butter. 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.  And I am happy to tell you – I think it is close to perfection!  (Well only to my standards – anyway) 

So I hope you enjoy this recipe for this amazing chocolate cake too!  Although, I should have named it the most amazing chocolate cake ever…. instead of Eggless Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake. 

But, 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:

  • 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 spray oil
  • powdered sugar, as garnish

Why Use Swans Down Cake Flour over All-Purpose?

For over 100 years, bakers have preferred Swans Down Cake Flour. That’s because is made from soft winter wheat and has been repeatedly sifted so that 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, is the reason this cake has a exquisite moist and light texture. No need to sift the flour, it’s already done for you.
