Who doesn’t love chocolate cake?
And now everyone can enjoy it! It is egg free, but still delicious, moist and super chocolatey and rich!
Make a few easy swaps to make it vegan or use gluten free flour for a delicious gluten free cake. It really is the perfect allergy friendly birthday cake!
Top the fluffy chocolate cake off with creamy whipped chocolate ganache. This is my favourite icing at the moment because its not as sweet as the usual buttercream and whipping the ganache gives it the light feeling of whipped cream!

Servings 16 people
Ingredients
- 3 cups plain flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 160 Degrees Celsius. Line a square cake tin with baking paper. In a large bowl whisk flour, sugar, cocoa and baking soda.
