A moist, rich, and indulgent vegan chocolate cake recipe that’s surprisingly easy to make. You won’t believe it’s egg-free and dairy-free!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened plant-based milk (like almond or soy)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons white vinegar
  • 1 cup hot water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the plant-based milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and white vinegar.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Carefully stir in the hot water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For an even richer chocolate flavor, you can add 1/2 cup of vegan chocolate chips to the batter.
  • This cake is delicious on its own, or you can frost it with your favorite vegan frosting.
  • Ensure your hot water is truly hot, as this helps activate the cocoa powder for a deeper flavor.
