Cakes are a wonderful invention that we all love. We have been baking cakes for hundreds of years, and some of them are super easy to make. Chocolate cakes are a special favorite amongst those who have a sweet tooth.
However, there are plenty of people who do not eat eggs, while vegans are the first group of people who come to mind, there are others, pescatarians, and more. Eggs are actually really high in cholesterol and saturated fat, which can clog arteries and lead to heart disease.

A good vegan, egg-free chocolate cake need not resemble a depression cake. You can have a traditional looking chocolate sponge and still have it vegan. It is quick, and it is easy.
This cake is not dry either, which you might expect from a vegan cake. And the weirdest ingredient in it is dairy free milk such as oat, soy, or almond.

The replacements for this cake are more complex though, using coconut oil, applesauce, cane sugar, and vegan butter. However, it is definitely worth it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Makes An Eggless Cake Fluffy?
A majority of cakes will rely on eggs for that fluffy texture. However, you can replicate this without eggs. You can use mashed bananas, applesauce, vinegar with baking soda, yogurt, tofu and so on. There are plenty of alternatives.
Why Is Condensed Milk Used For Eggless Cakes?
Sweetened condensed milk can act as an egg in some recipes. And if you want to cut back on sugar, condensed milk is often sweet enough for the entire cake, you do not need to add in extra sugars.
The richness of it also helps in moistening the cake, which combats cocoa powder, which is a drying ingredient. It helps to balance out the cake’s texture as a whole.
What Can Be A Substitute For Condensed Milk In An Eggless Cake?
If you do not want to have condensed milk in your eggless cake, you can add around 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to one cup of non-dairy milk and let it sit for 5 minutes before you add it into your recipe.
It might (or might not) curdle like dairy milk, however, homemade dairy-free buttermilk alternatives serve their own purpose in many recipes.
Do Egg-Free Cakes Taste Different?
These cakes will mostly taste the same, whatever the flavor. In a chocolate cake, the chocolate will usually overpower it, and you won’t notice it. However, it does depend on the recipe.
To Conclude
Just because you don’t eat eggs, doesn’t mean you can’t have a delicious slice of chocolate cake. These recipes make it super easy to enjoy a delicious cake, worry free, with all that chocolaty goodness you dreamed of.
