Ingredients:

For the Cake:

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 6 tablespoons water)
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup boiling water

For the Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup dairy-free butter (such as coconut oil or vegan butter)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any non-dairy milk)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat and Prep Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2: Make Flax Eggs In a small bowl, combine the ground flaxseed and water to create flax eggs. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes until it thickens.

Step 3: Mix Dry Ingredients In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 4: Incorporate Wet Ingredients Add the flax eggs, unsweetened almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredient mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 5: Add Boiling Water Gradually mix in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s what contributes to the cake’s fudgy texture.

Step 6: Bake to Perfection Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 7: Make the Frosting In a mixing bowl, beat the dairy-free butter until creamy. Add the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, unsweetened almond milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until the frosting is smooth and creamy.

Step 8: Frost the Cake Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the entire cake.

Step 9: Serve and Enjoy Slice and serve the Fudgiest Dairy-Free Chocolate Cake, reveling in the velvety texture and deep chocolatey taste. Share this dairy-free delight with friends and family who will be amazed at the decadence achieved without dairy.
