Easy No Eggs Chocolate Cake - Raspberry Chocolate Ganache Cake

This no eggs chocolate cake recipe is the perfect balance between sweet, and tangy. Tangy berry buttercream sandwiched between moist, decadent chocolate cake sponge layers and smothered in raspberry ganache and coated in chocolate ganache. Delicious. 

This recipe for raspberry cake is the perfect centerpiece for any occasion. And the perfect dessert for everyone to enjoy, this cake is completely vegan and gluten free!

This chocolate cake easy recipe, requires just 10 everyday pantry ingredients!

This chocolate cake raspberry recipe was inspired by my ultimate chocolate Bundt cake that's insanely light and moist, however, requires apple puree/sauce which I understand is not something everyone can get their hands on, which is why I developed this recipe which is perfect for layered cakes.

In this chocolate layered cake recipe I will be going through how to make eggless chocolate cake and answering your FAQs such as ‘how to make a chocolate cake filling’ ‘best glaze for chocolate cake’ ‘how long does moist chocolate cake recipes with oil last’ and so much more.

A really great thing about this chocolate raspberry cake ganache recipe is how versatile it is. Which is what makes this the best vegan chocolate cake. For example, you can make this into an eggless chocolate fudge cake without the berry buttercream but chocolate buttercream instead. Or you can change the flavour of the chocolate sponge completely to an orange or mint chocolate cake instead!

I’ll also be sharing some more flavor variations and mix in’s below. And would highly recommend you check that part of this post out!

Ingredients for this moist chocolate raspberry cake

• Raspberries - these can be frozen or fresh.
• Sugar – I like to use caster sugar in my cakes which is just very refined sugar. So if you can’t find caster sugar I’d recommend using refined or normal granulated sugar.
• Cocoa powder - use a dark cocoa powder for a better chocolate flavor, never hot cocoa powder.
• Coffee - this helps to enhance the chocolate flavor - you can’t taste any of the coffee!
• Oil- flavorless oil is best like vegetable, rapeseed or sunflower oil
• Gluten free flour - this can be plain or self raising flour, if however, you’d prefer not to make this cake gluten free then check out my substitutes list below 🙂
• Baking powder and bicarbonate of soda - Raising agents
• Plant based milk - you can use soya, almond, coconut or pea milk
• Vinegar - this reacts with the bicarbonate of soda/baking soda to make the cakes rise

Fillings for chocolate cake ideas:

Blueberry jam

Feeling a bit adventurous? Why not try chocolate and blueberries, instead of the berry compote in the buttercream, why not try this blueberry jam.

Don’t have any raspberries?

Then I’d recommend substituting it for strawberries. You can also use either frozen/fresh strawberries for the compote instead.

Prefer just a classic chocolate cake?

Then all you need is this classic chocolate Bundt cake.
