The Best Dairy Free Chocolate Cake got its start during the depression, when dairy wasn’t always available.  This cake recipe is an oldie but a goodie!  

Women found a way to make a fabulous chocolate cake without using any dairy.  The method is odd, Ken says bizarre, but this recipe turns out beautifully, every time. 

I have two close friends that cannot consume any dairy and they love this recipe!  You can’t tell there that is no dairy in it at all!  The Best Dairy Free Chocolate Cake is perfect to serve when you want to include someone with dietary restrictions in a dessert that everyone else still enjoys, without noticing!

Dairy Free Chocolate Cake

Ingredients for The Best Dairy Free Chocolate Cake

  • flour
  • sugar
  • cocoa powder
  • baking soda
  • salt
  • oil
  • white vinegar
  • water
  • vanilla
  • icing or powdered sugar
  • cooking spray

How to make The Best Dairy Free Chocolate Cake

Prepare an 8 inch cake pan with cooking spray.  Inside your pan whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, salt and baking soda together. Next, make 3 holes in the flour mixture.  One large enough to hold the oil and two smaller holes perfect to each hold the vanilla an vinegar.  Then add oil to the large hole and vinegar and vanilla to each of the other holes.  You should now have a pile of flour with a hole filled with oil, another with vanilla and the last with vinegar.  Strange I know but this works.  Pour water slowly into the pan, on top of everything.  Stir until only a few streaks of flour remain.  Place cake immediately into your oven and bake for about 30 minutes.  

Bake until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.  Cool in pan and dust with powdered or icing sugar.  Serve and enjoy!
