It’s good to have a go-to chocolate cake recipe. A chocolate cake that everyone will love, that everyone with food allergies can enjoy. Let me introduce you to my go-to chocolate cake recipe. It’s gluten, dairy and egg free. It’s also pretty much the easiest cake recipe too. I’ve made it more times than I can count, I don’t even need to look at a recipe anymore. It’s one I will continue to make time and time again!
Now let’s move on to that chocolate ganache glaze. The moist, chocolatey cake as it’s canvas. It’s poured down the side, making this chocolate bundt cake even more beautiful. Double chocolate cake studded with mini chocolate chips, covered in a creamy chocolate ganache glaze. Hello and get in my belly!

Hi Sarah iam looking for gluten free vegan vanilla+chocolate layer cake, if u don’t mind will u please post a recipe of this cake I will be really thankful to u
Hi Sarah,
Thank you so much for posting such amazing recipes. We all love them very much.
My question is regarding the chocolate glaze. Does it harden with time? Can I use it to frost a cake? Can it be refrigerated or left at room temp.?
Thank you once again for sharing your recipe.
It hardens up a bit, but you could use it to frost a cake. You just might want to double the recipe.
Hi Sarah,
I made the Double Chocolate Bundt Cake for my birthday, and it was delicious! My family enjoyed it also. The ganache glaze was amazing! I didn’t think it was possible to make such a tasty cake that was gluten free and vegan. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
A go to recipe that gets rave reviews regardless of who I bake this for.
This is an amazing recipe!!!! I did it with coconut oil and almond milk as well!
One quick question: Does it freeze well of put in separate slices in the freezer?
I feel like I’ve left a comment for this recipe before but I have to do it again. I’m re-printing recipes for my new cookbook and have to have this one as it is also my go-to cake! My family is GF, DF and I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve made this cake. I’ve baked it for pretty much all family birthdays for the last several years, plus other special occasions. EVERYONE loves it, regardless if they have food allergies or not. They can’t get over how delicious it is. It is THE BEST. Sarah, you are amazing. 🙂
Thank you, Stacy! That is so sweet of you!
Can this be baked into a layer cake?
