We need chocolate! And this very Easy Vegan Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache is here to satisfy those chocolate cravings, my sweet friends! A pretty cool thing about this super-moist cake is that it has no egg replacements. It’s also so easy to make. In this recipe we have the best of both worlds, decadent chocolate cake, and rich chocolate ganache! Complete bliss!

Ideal For Special Occasions

With Easter coming up, and birthdays left and right, this cake is perfect for celebrating with friends and family. Making it vegan will surprise even the most skeptic people out there. But they’ll soon forgive you after a slice of chocolate heaven. That’s how you lure them to the “Vegan” side…hehe!

It’s a one layer, thick cake, (made in an 8″ pan) which is perfect for those who don’t like messing with double or triple layers. However, as thick as this cake is you could absolutely halve it and make a double layer cake with delicious fruit and more frosting. If you use a larger cake pan, remember to reduce the baking time accordingly.

With no mixer, no complicated equipment or ingredients required, how could you refuse?

What’s Coconut Cream?

Psssst…If you’re unfamiliar with coconut cream, put your can of coconut milk into the fridge for a few hours (or preferably overnight) and do not shake! The coconut milk will separate into coconut cream (that you’ll need in this recipe) and coconut water. Leftover coconut water could be used in smoothies, oatmeals or chia bowls.

If you don’t have coconut cream on hand, you could also use unsweetened almond milk for the frosting. You’ll just want to bump the measurement down to 1/2 cup instead of 1 cup. Do add the powdered sugar for sure, because it can be a little bitter without it, in my opinion. Add it and taste test! 🙂

Of course, if you want a frosting shortcut you could use a store-bought vegan frosting. Perhaps Pillsbury or Duncan Hines. Better yet, check out these Vegan Frosting Brands!

And of course, enjoy this Easy Vegan Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Ganache! Anyway you slice it, you can’t beat this one layer of chocolate cake iced with thick chocolate ganache frosting and a super cute bunny or sprinkles!
