Egg-free dairy-free moist vegan chocolate cake
This recipe for a moist vegan chocolate cake is easy to make, and even if you are not a vegan, you will love it ! The texture is amazing, very moist and rich without being heavy. Chocolate bliss and 100% plant-based. Instead of dairies, I use coconut milk and coconut oil and instead of eggs …apple sauce. If you are a vegan, make sure you pick dairy-free baking chocolate.

It’s totally possible to replace some ingredients in your recipes to make your cakes 100% vegan.
- Apple sauce is a good egg substitute. Use 50g (¼ cup) of apple sauce instead of an egg. Dairy products can be replaced with plant-based products from coconut, soy, almonds etc (milk = plant-based milk, butter = vegetable oil or margarine, heavy cream = coconut cream …)
- Another great tip : if you need to use egg whites in a recipe, use chickpea water instead (garbanzo bean) as in my Vegan chocolate mousse with aquafaba. It works wonders.
- Finally, as you know, butter can be replaced by shredded zucchini, as you have seen in my recipe Chocolate zucchini cake recipe with no butter or sugar
