Indulge in a moist and decadent eggless chocolate cake with rich chocolate frosting. You won’t believe it’s made without eggs!
An Eggless Cake You Never Thought Possible
Eggless Chocolate Cake is accurate, and, honestly, I had no idea you could make such a moist chocolate cake without eggs.
I know I was just as shocked, and it’s a perfect, thick, moist, and an eggless chocolate coffee cake recipe that everyone should try.
Our son is a massive fan of chocolate cake but is very particular about what kinds, and this eggless chocolate coffee cake was a HIT.
That’s exciting news for us as parents of a picky eater child, even though this is only a treat he gets occasionally.
We’ve even turned this eggless chocolate coffee cake into muffins so he can take them to school.
He’d sooner eat a boxed chocolate cake since it is so moist than a dense homemade cake or brownie (my favorite).
Satisfying Your Sweet Tooth
The other night, I had a chocolate craving, and I was tempting myself to head to the kitchen to make my Fudgy Brownies.
Although my Facebook Fans motivated me to get up and bake, I decided to wait a day as it was a bit late.
During a Facebook conversation, two fans, Christine Weadick and Sarah Jackson, started talking about allergies and eggless cakes.
Sarah’s little one is allergic to eggs and was looking for new, easy, eggless recipes.
It’s not so easy to find eggless cakes at the grocery store, and honestly, your best bet when allergies are involved is to bake it yourself.
Then, Christine, a long-time CBB fan, comes to the rescue with her easy eggless chocolate cake recipe, and we are glad she did.
Eggless Chocolate Cake
Christine went on to post her favorite eggless chocolate cake recipe, and I was intrigued by it.
The next evening, I made her eggless chocolate cake, which turned out so good it was gone within a couple of days.
So yes, you can make an egg-free chocolate cake that will taste amazing.
If you use good organic cocoa, the flavour erupts in your mouth like a blast of chocolate, which I strongly suggest doing.
We buy our Organic Rodelle Cocoa at Costco or find it on Amazon Canada. A little goes a long way. It’s so good.
If you’re looking for an easy chocolate cake recipe that won’t keep you in the kitchen for hours, this is the one.
If you have company coming over and want a last-minute dessert, serve it up, and your guests will clean their plates.
We use this cake to make our son’s birthday every year because we know he will eat it.
Eggless Chocolate Cake With Hints Of Coffee
So, I was happy with the eggless chocolate cake recipe and wanted to switch it up a bit the following day with different flavors.
I wanted to make the best chocolate cake ever, and I didn’t want to use eggs.
So, my eggless chocolate cake wanted to be full of chocolate, but I wanted to have real depth in taste with coffee.
I’ve always wanted to make a moist coffee cake good enough for breakfast!
I mean, what’s the difference? The world feeds kids Nutella to start the day.
Ok, so maybe not a healthful breakfast, but I’m sure it will kick-start the first hour of your day!
You can also use decaffeinated instant coffee if you are worried about caffeine or don’t care but love the coffee taste.
You can also do that if you prefer to leave the coffee out.
Switching Up Cake Recipes
I have a habit of wanting to mess about with ingredients in the kitchen to see what will happen.
Sometimes, it’s not pretty, but it gets easier as you know how certain ingredients work together as you go along.
Learning how to bake a cake, predominantly a basic white or chocolate cake, will help you create signature cakes you can call your own.
You can add chocolate chips, coconut, and nuts, but remember, measurements when baking can be critical to a cake’s success.
Trial and error is the name of the game and the way any good baker learns, so don’t be afraid to try something new.
As I mentioned above, I turned this eggless chocolate coffee cake into muffins, and you can even make a loaf cake.
Frugal Baking At Home
We typically end up with more food than we can sometimes handle, so don’t be afraid to take a piece to your neighbor as we did.
Your friends and family won’t believe you made this eggless chocolate cake from scratch.
This eggless chocolate coffee cake is accessible on a budget, simple to make, and fun for the kids to get involved with.
It costs about $6.50 for the pan with icing, not including the time and electricity needed to bake it.
Prices vary worldwide, especially if you find products on sale or use coupons to buy your baking and pantry supplies.

Found a typo and heres me thinking wow he got that down with no errors;). Happy searching:). Oh an going to try this recipe out as my friends little one is alergic to eggs!!!
Where is the typo..crikey.. now you’re teasing me mate hahah. I think you will love it Nicola.. our kid here for the month loves it and so did her mates at school. I was shocked to see how moist and fluffy it came. I added yogurt to give it extra moistness. Lovely. Let me know what you think. Cheers .. Mr.CBB
I found it.. bloody hell.. it’s the easy ones. Cheers mate.
I am not really a chocolate fan but I shared this since I am sure there are oodles of people in my “friends” list who are. Thanks Mr. CBB!!
Thanks Mary~~ I guess I don’t know what all women want then right haha.. did you read my comment back to you on that FB post? Thanks for sharing, I hope your mates try out the cake and enjoy it as much as we are. Mr.CBB
Nice! Looks delicious.
Thanks, it was and is! Cheers Mr.CBB
I splurged and had a little bit of chocolate pudding with a very tiny chocolate muffin at my friends house…oh my it was so good! This cake is making my mouth water just looking at it 🙂
You know I have to be honest I was very skeptical at first with the eggless cake but wow, did it show me a thing or two. Great cake, very moist. Have you made eggless cakes before?
No actually I have not so I am really interested in trying this one 🙂 Plus my kids tell me I never bake anymore now that I am eating healthier so maybe I should just show them…:)
Go for it and let me know what you think.. the icing you can make whatever you want and if you don’t want the coffee flavour in the cake simply omit it. It’s a great cake..
I love coffee I am leaving it in 🙂
I’m eating a chunk of this cake now.. Mrs.CBB says it tastes like Joe Louis without the cream…she won’t tell me who he is but I’m sure she’s waiting for someone to take the piss out of me… she likes to do that to me sometimes haha… Let me know what you think…
Hilarious! 🙂
Ya my Facebook Fans filled me on who this Mr.Joe Louis is today.. Mrs.CBB just love it when she gets me like this…
I don’t even know who he is…. Ha ha
I don’t even know who he is…. Ha ha I am going to have to check out your Facebook page!
Yes, would love that…come say hello!
It’s past midnight and now I’m going to bake a cake. Drool………
It’s past midnight and I’m still awake… and you’re going to bake cake… lol.. let me know if you make this one and how you like it. I have to make it again this weekend for a party. Cheers Mr.CBB
What a great idea! I hate the taste of eggs, so I never know what to do with leftover ones. Yum, yum – looks amazing!
I know it’s amazing how you can make a cake so good without eggs.. It is very moist and certainly easy to make. Give it a try and let me know what you think.Thanks for your comment darlin. Cheers Mr.CBB
I’ll try this one mate! Every time I think of baking a chocolate cake I end up buying one instead because the ingredients are so expensive and it’s usually far cheaper to buy one. I want to start cooking more though so this budget option is going in the recipe book for future use!
Go for it. Ya you can buy mixes on offer for $1 but you don’t know what is in them. We pay top dollar for pastry chefs to make cakes from scratch so why not do it ourselves. This one is fairly cheap and doesn’t taste like it’s from a box. Let me know what you think. Cheers Mate…. was having a look at house sales in the UK.. can’t believe how many people are losing money from when they bought… happy I sold up when I did…
Yum!!! That looks delicious. I think if I made this recipe plus my brownie recipe (http://momoneymohouses.com/post/27622621271/cheap-healthy-brownies-yes-they-exist), I might be in a frugal chocolate coma after it all 😉
Ha, I always like a brownie recipe. If you know me you know I’m addicted to them. Have you tried my recipe? Mr.CBB’s Fudgy Brownies? I’ll check yours if you check mine! Cheers and thanks for dropping in and commenting.. always something chocolate going on in here! Cheers Mr.CBB
This looks incredibly delicious, especially for chocolate lovers like myself 😉 Keep up the good chocolate work!
Thanks darlin.. If you know me you know I love chocolate especially brownies. Pinterest has been a bad influence for me lol… I hope you try this recipe, I think you will be just as amazed as I am. Cheers and thanks for dropping in Nurse Frugal… Mr.CBB
looks delish!!
