I’ve blogged about the challenges of navigating food allergies, Thoughts about Food Allergies and a gf/df recipe for Fresh Orange Chiffon Cake and I try to present recipes that make delicious foods without the added anxiety of an allergic attack.
The recipe for this moist and delicious chocolate cake is 100% Dairy-Free and can easily be adapted to Gluten-Free by using Gluten-Free Flour. My original version, “Butter”Cream Chiffon Cake D/F was the base for the recipe.
As a bonus, this cake is perfect to make the day before an event because the texture becomes even more moist when the frosting absorbs and marries.

Recipe by Gourmetmarichef
Ingredients
- 1 ¾ c. flour, can be replaced by gluten free flour
- 1 ½ c. sugar
- 1 ½ tsp. baking soda
- ½ tsp. salt
- 7 room temperature eggs, separated
- ½ c. dairy-free natural powdered cocoa
- ¾ c boiled water
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- ½ c. canola oil
Directions
preheat oven to 325°
- Combine the cocoa powder and boiled water in a mixing bowl and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool while you move to the next steps.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the first 4 ingredients.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg yolks, vanilla, and oil.
- Add the wet ingredients including the cocoa mix to the dry ingredients and mix with an electric mixer for 2-3 minutes until smooth.
- Wash the beaters and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the fluffy egg whites, using a gentle fold over method.
- Place the batter into a 10 inch tube pan. Tap it gently to remove any pockets of air.
- Place in the center of the oven and time for 55-60 minutes. Don’t check until most of the baking time elapses so the cake doesn’t deflate.
- The cake will spring back when gently touched, you can also insert a long toothpick to check if the cake is done.
- Remove from the oven and immediately invert until the cake is cooled.
- Gently run a knife around the cake and tube and place on a serving dish.
Frost with a quick chocolate frosting made from 4 melted dark baking chocolate pieces, ½ c. dairy free butter, 2-3 c. confectioners sugar and a bit of rice milk. Mix this with an electric mixer on high until you have a working consistency. Top with toasted chopped walnuts.
