Dairy-free cakes are desserts made without any dairy ingredients, such as milk, butter, or cream. They are often created using plant-based alternatives like almond milk, coconut oil, or applesauce. These cakes cater to individuals with lactose intolerance, dairy allergies, or those following a vegan lifestyle. Many recipes for dairy-free cakes incorporate ingredients like flour, sugar, and eggs (or egg substitutes) to achieve a moist and flavorful texture. Popular flavors include chocolate, vanilla, and carrot, allowing for a variety of options that can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of dietary restrictions.
