The Best Egg-Free, Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake
This recipe is both simple and delicious! A common problem with baked goods made without eggs is that the dough never seems to rise – or lacks a fluffy consistency.
You can see from the pictures (and will experience this when you make this delicious cake) that this recipe somehow still gives that fluffy consistency.
I most recently made this recipe for my husband’s birthday. My husband does not have any dietary restrictions, but he absolutely loved the cupcakes! This man is used to store-bought cake with plenty of eggs and dairy, and he did not even notice a difference! I added some simple decorations to make these look like s’more cupcakes. Simple graham cracker and dairy-free chocolate to decorate 🙂
I hope this recipe can make special occasions special again! I know how frustrating it can be to not share dessert in special occasions, or feel like you are always missing out.

Thank you so much for this recipe! We are egg free but not dairy so I’m curious to know what you think about adding a little sour cream to the recipe. Do I need to sub something or can I add a bit without changes?
Thank you for the compliment, Erin! I have never been able to use sour cream in baking, so I do not have personal experience with that. However, I have done some research and found that you can use 1 cup of sour cream to replace 1 cup of milk in recipes.
Decrease the baking powder in the recipe by 1 tsp. for each cup of sour cream used, and increase the baking soda by 1 tsp.
I cannot guarantee how this will work, but I hope this helps! Enjoy 🙂
Thank you! I made the recipe as written and they were delicious!
These look great and I cant wait to try it. Is the frosting egg and dairy free as well? Do you have a recipe for that?
Thank you, Katrina! I just posted a new recipe for the frosting I used – and yes, it is dairy-free and egg-free. Here is the link: https://www.allergicmama.com/the-best-egg-free-dairy-free-frosting/
Enjoy!
