Ce Eggless Chocolate Cake Recipe is an easy one-bowl egg-free chocolate cake recipe with the most deliciously moist cake crumbs. Plus, the cake is also dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
Baking without eggs just makes sense to me. All vegan recipes are always egg-free, but encouraging everyone to bake without eggs is important. Many people don’t enjoy the flavor of eggs in baking and only include them because they are in recipes. You might have tried my eggless vanilla cake recipe. Today, it’s a chocolate version of an eggless cake.
In fact, if you like cakes without eggs, you can try any of my cake recipes, like my Yogurt Cake, Gâteau au chocolat sans cuisson à 2 ingrédients, ou Gâteau Bundt végétalien. Since they’re all vegan, they are naturally eggless.

How to Make Eggless Chocolate Cake
- Préchauffer le four à 350 ° F (180 ° C).
- Grease a round 9-inch pan with oil spray and cover the bottom and sides of the pan with parchment paper.
- Spray some oil on the paper as well to prevent the cake from sticking to the paper.
- Add all the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer: flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Use a whisk to stir and break any lumps of cocoa in the bowl. It should be consistent and fine with no lumps of dry ingredients.
- Faire un puits au centre du mélange de farine.
- Now, add the wet ingredients: water, milk, avocado oil, and vanilla extract.
- Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to stir and bring all ingredients together into a smooth cake batter. The chocolate cake batter should look like any regular cake batter, not too thin, not too thick, smooth, and shiny.
- Pour the batter into the mold and place it in the center rack of the oven.
- Bake the cake for 40 to 50 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a pick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. If the top of the cake darkens too fast, foil the top of the pan with a piece of foil. The baking time varies depending on the size of the pan and oven calibration. Always follow the toothpick indicator to know if the cake is cooked in the center.
- Let the cake cool down for 10 minutes in the cake pan, then release it on a wire rack.
- Cool completely on a wire rack at room temperature before adding any chocolate ganache or decoration.

Ganache au chocolat
After 3 hours or overnight, the cake should be cool enough to be decorated. I like to make a chocolate ganache, but feel free to halve the cake and use some of the dairy-free frosting recipes below to fill the cake.
If you prefer to make a ganache, add the ingredients below into a small non-stick saucepan.
- de chocolat Noir
- Le lait de coco
Bring the saucepan over low-medium heat. Stir gently with a wooden spoon. As it gets warm, it melts and thickens. Cook until the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is shiny and slightly thick. Let it cool down for 10 minutes at room temperature outside the stove.
Then, pour the lukewarm chocolate ganache on top of the chocolate cake and spread to cover. If you like, sprinkle some candies, sugar sprinkles, or unsweetened coconut on top of the ganache.

Instructions de stockage
This eggless cake can be stored very well at room temperature in a cake box for up to 2 days. Or store it for up to 4 days in the fridge. If the cake is too large to eat within 4 days, you can also freeze cake slices in sealed bags or a container. The cake can be frozen for up to one month, and thaw at room temperature the day before.
Échanges d'allergies
If you are allergic to some of the ingredients, you can use some of the substitutions below. But overall, the cake is quite allergy-friendly as it’s naturally:
- Sans œuf
- Sans produits laitiers
- Sans noix
- Végane
Below are some more options for you:
- Sans sucre – Use a sugar-free natural granulated sweetener, like erythritol or allulose. For the ganache, use stevia-sweetened chocolate chips.
- Sans huile – I didn’t try an oil-free version of this cake. You may want to try dairy-free yogurt or unsweetened applesauce, but I can’t guarantee the texture will be the same.
- sans gluten – Pour une version sans gluten, utilisez ma guide de conversion sans gluten.
- de bicarbonate alimentaire can be replaced with twice the amount of baking powder.
