My readers love a good vegan recipe that is simple and easy to recreate at home. This simple vegan chocolate cake recipe is that and much more. I really wanted to give my vegan readers a recipe as well because everyone loves chocolate cake, right? This recipe uses no dairy but is as good as the other chocolate cakes. This vegan chocolate cake is flavorful and the texture is to die for. This vegan chocolate cake recipe does not call for any fancy ingredients- they’re all pantry staples that we use for our usual baking. The recipe is also fairly simple. Anyone can follow through and whip up this delicious simple vegan chocolate cake.

I’ve made this cake on several occasions now. Especially for my cousins, who have been vegan for about three years now. They keep asking me to make vegan treats for them, which I do, once in a while. This simple vegan chocolate cake continues to be their favorite. Luckily, it’s so quick and easy to make that I don’t mind whipping it up now and then.

  • soft
  • moist

Ingredients For Simple Vegan Chocolate Cake

Staying true to it’s name, this no-fuss recipe calls for very basic ingredients. Some recipes you will find on the internet will  require ingredients like apple sauce and vegan butter but that is not the case here. You only need simple kitchen staples like maida, sugar, cocoa powder, vegetable oil, vinegar, etc. I use brown sugar here because your regular white sugar is not always vegan. The brown sugar also makes the cake more moist. I use vegetable oil for this recipe. It is not only vegan but also makes the cake softer. Make sure you use a good quality cocoa powder for the cake.

How To Bake Easiest Eggless Chocolate Cake In Microwave

Looking for a vegan chocolate cake recipe for microwave?  All you have to do while baking this cake in the microwave is to reduce the baking time by 25%. So in the microwave this will only take 22-25 minutes at 180*C. Everything else remains the same.

How To Make Vegan Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

The recipe that I have shared here uses all purpose flour/ maida but you can make this a gluten free vegan chocolate cake by replacing maida with tapioca flour. I have personally not tried making  a gluten free version of this vegan cake but you should definitely give it a shot.

A lot of my readers have loved the chocolate cake recipes that I’ve posted here in the past and you can give these recipes a shot too:
