When it comes to cake baking you aren’t likely to find a lot of recipes without eggs. Still it is possible to make a great cake without adding any eggs to the batter. This egg-free chocolate cherry bundt cake recipe is a perfect example of that.

Egg-Free Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake Recipe

Over the years I have modified a lot of baked good recipes in order to make them egg-free. Nick loves baked goods, but when his egg allergy was at it’s peak everything containing eggs was off limits, and that included all baked goods. This meant that buying a birthday cake at the local bakery wasn’t going to work. Instead I figured out how to make egg-free cakes for us.

One year for my birthday I decided that I didn’t want a typical birthday cake. To change things up I decided to make a chocolate cherry bundt cake. It was a cake I knew we’d all like, but the original recipe called for not only one, but two eggs! I was able to easily modify the recipe though by substituting applesauce for the eggs. My modified recipe turned out just as good as the original.

Ingredients Needed for a Chocolate Bundt Cake with Cherry Pie Filling

• 2 Cups of flour
• 3/4 Cup of oil
• 2 Teaspoons of vanilla
• 1 Teaspoon of baking soda
• 3/4 Cup of sugar
• 1/2 Cup of applesauce (For this recipe I like to use a cinnamon applesauce. You can also use a single applesauce snack cup instead of measuring out a half cup.)
• 1 Teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 Can cherry pie filling 21 ounce
• 1/2 Bag of chocolate chips
• Powdered Sugar (optional)

Must Have Resources for this Eggless Homemade Chocolate Cherry Cake

This easy cherry bundt cake will be even easier to make if you have these baking tools on hand when it’s time to start baking.

How to Make an Egg-Free Chocolate Cherry Cake with Cherry Pie Filling

Making the chocolate cherry cake is really quite easy. Although it does require a decent amount of baking time.

To start add the flour, sugar, oil, applesauce, vanilla, baking soda, and cinnamon together in a bowl and mix well. You should end up with a pretty crumbly looking batter when you’re done mixing.

Next stir the cherry pie filling and chocolate chips into your batter.

At this point your batter is ready to be poured into the bundt pan. Before you do that though make sure you grease and flour the bundt pan. To do that spray the pan and put some flour in the bottom of it. Then tilt the pan and tap it to move the flour around so that most of the areas are covered with flour. You can add more flour to the pan if you don’t have enough in it to cover the sides.

Once your pan is prepped you can pour the batter in. Then place it in the oven to bake at 350 for one hour.

After one hour poke the cake with a toothpick to make sure that it is fully baked. If the toothpick comes out clean put the bundt pan on a safe surface and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Finally turn the pan over on a plate and remove the cake. At that point you can allow the cake to cool down the rest of the way on the plate.

I personally would wait at least 5 minutes before taking the cake out of the bundt pan. If you take it out too soon the bottom could get a bit sticky and stick to the plate you put it on. It’s not a big deal as it’s still easy to remove from the plate, but it can be a bit annoying.

When it is time to serve your cake you can sprinkle some powdered sugar on top to give it a finished look if you’d like. A sugar sifter makes this really easy, but if you don’t have one you can rub the powdered sugar between your fingers as you move your hand around.

This egg-free chocolate cherry bundt cake recipe is a top favorite of our family. It really is easy to make. It is also a nice change from the typical frosted cake recipes. I hope your family loves it as much as ours does!

Can this Cherry Chocolate Bundt Cake Be Frozen?

This cherry chocolate bundt cake is so good, but it does make 16 good sized slices. Unless you are serving it to a lot of people you might not be able to eat it all before it starts to dry out. This is exactly what happened to me.

After what felt like days and days of eating the cake I still had half of the bundt cake left. I decided it was best to freeze it and save the second half of it for a later date.

To freeze it I placed the remaining half of the bundt cake into a gallon sized baggie. Then I made sure to push as much air out of the baggie as I could before I sealed it and placed it into my freezer.

I left my cake in the freezer for several months before removing it to serve at a small family dinner. I got the cake out several hours before serving so it had time to defrost. Everyone loved the cake, and it tasted just as good as it had before I had frozen it.

I recommend using a freezer gallon sized baggie to freeze the bundt cake in for extra freeze burn protection, but it isn’t necessary. I only had gallon sized storage baggies on hand when I froze my cake and it still worked great.
