How to Make Chocolate Cake Dairy Free

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, oil, apple cider vinegar, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. While the cakes are cooling, prepare your favorite dairy-free frosting (recipe suggestions included below).
  10. Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer and top with the second layer. Frost the entire cake.
