Chocolate cake that is delicious, decadent, and allergy-friendly? Yes. Right here. This chocolate cake is gluten, egg, and dairy-free, making this a recipe that everyone can enjoy!

Gluten Free Mocha Cake With Vegan Coffee Buttercream

There is no denying that special occasions call for a slice of chocolate cake (or cupcakes!) but when you need an allergy-friendly recipe, things can easily get complicated -or worse, not turn out the way you hoped.

This allergy-friendly chocolate cake is to-die-for. It’s one of those recipes you can make for a party or gathering, and no one will guess that you just served up gluten and dairy-free dessert!

If allergy-friendly baking sounds intimidating, don’t worry! I’ll walk you through every step of the way in the recipe video below, and then you can print the instructions and follow along from your own kitchen!

Gluten Free Apple Upside Down Cake (vegan)

Of course, nobody bakes a cake the day of the party, so I’m sure you are wondering, can this allergy-friendly cake be frozen? The short answer is yes! You can bake the layers and freeze them, take the cake out of the freezer the day of the party, make the dairy-free frosting, and assemble it.

Want to save more time? Make the entire cake and freeze it, whole, and take it out the night of the party. If you have room in your freezer, then why not? Thawing out this cake does not affect its delicious texture and flavor, and you’ll save yourself a lot of time.

I know that making an allergy-friendly cake from scratch can seem overwhelming -where do you even find the ingredients? Well, for starters, you are probably using most of them already so know that they are often easy to swap for another brand. This recipe is not brand-specific.

Dairy Free Red Velvet Cake Recipe

For most people with severe food allergies, using a mix out of the box isn’t an option, so this version allows you to select your favorite gluten-free flour.

You’ll also find that the use of chocolate non-dairy milk gives this cake a moist, rich texture that will bring everyone back for seconds. You can find this dairy-free option in the refrigerated section of your grocery.

Hold on, did I mention the frosting? We can’t forget about a homemade allergy-friendly frosting for this cake! Let’s just say it takes the cake… to the next level.

I recommend using vegetable shortening, to keep the frosting thick and easily spreadable. You might need to double the batch since half of it seems to disappear before I can even get the cake cooled for frosting.

Through the years, I’ve gotten a lot of questions about possible ingredient swaps for this recipe. While the specific ingredients and measurements below are tried and true, I’m also sharing a couple of other options that can work if you simply must trade out an ingredient or two.

Gluten Free Lemon Olive Oil Cake (dairy Free)

You cannot substitute the sugar for Stevia in this recipe as there would be a large volume difference to make up for.

Any liquid sweeteners will change the consistency of the batter and you’ll end up with a very different cake. I do not recommend using liquid sweeteners for this recipe.

While I love baking with almond flour it is not the right choice for this recipe. The liquid measurements would need to change if using almond flour and I have not tested the needed changes.

Easy Gluten Free Chocolate Cake

I have not tested this with All-purpose flour and this recipe was specifically created for gluten-free mixes. If hoping to use an all-purpose flour you would need a smaller amount of flour than listed below and could eliminate the xanthan gum.

I used non-dairy milk, in this recipe but you can use rice milk, almond milk or coconut milk depending on what you have and what your family prefers.

Xanthan Gum is a must-have for this recipe and for all gluten-free baking recipes. X-gum is what binds your flours together when there is no gluten in the recipe. This recipe won’t work without X-gum.

Be sure to double-check the flour you are using that it’s not already included in the mix. Some Gluten-Free Flour mixes already include xantham gum, and you wouldn’t need to add additional x-gum if your flour mix includes it.

You can use a rectangle pan for this cake recipe but keep a close eye on the baking time as it will vary by a few minutes from the original recipe cooking time below.

While I’m usually strictly a chocolate person, there’s something about the spring thatmakes me seriously crave carrot cake. It’s always on the menu for our Easter celebrations, and I love making it for friends and family this time of year.

Gluten Free Dairy Free Dirt Cake

I try to make desserts that even people with dietary restrictions can enjoy. Since I can remember, I have been lactose intolerant. I never complain or ask others to cook special meals for me. But when people go the extra mile to make something they know I can eat, it really means a lot.

That’s why I decided to adapt my favorite carrot cake recipe to make it gluten and dairy-free. A special gluten-free carrot cake you can share with special people to make them feel loved.

Making a cake moist and delicious without gluten or dairy is not an easy task (let’s just say at least one of my trials ended up straight in the trash…yikes).

Gluten Free Carrot Cake Recipe (dairy Free)

But I finally succeeded and I’m so excited to share this recipe with you. Instead of using butter or oil for moistness, this recipe uses applesauce and dairy-free yogurt which makes it a dairy-free carrot cake.

Usually Easter includes an overload of jelly beans and chocolate eggs, so I chose to create a recipe for a small gluten-free carrot cake (two 6″ layers or one 9×9″ pan).

That way, you can enjoy a slice of cake with a few chocolate eggs on the side! However, the recipe can easily be doubled to fill two 9″ round cake pans or one 9×13″ pan if you’re feeding a crowd.

Gluten Free Victoria Sponge Cake Recipe

We love Easter, it’s our favorite holiday. I take a two-week break in our homeschooling schedule to walk through a curriculum that teaches my kids the real meaning of Easter.
