There’s something incredibly comforting about the combination of chocolate and coffee. The deep richness of chocolate paired with bold coffee flavor creates the kind of dessert that feels both cozy and indulgent at the same time. This Eggless Chocolate Coffee Bundt Cake is one of those cakes that looks impressive but is surprisingly simple to make.

Ingredient Tips & Dairy-Free Options

Chocolate Bundt Cake 

  • Milk: Adds moisture and richness to the cake. For dairy-free, use oat, soy, or almond milk like Oatly, Silk, or Califia Farms.
  • White Vinegar or Lemon Juice: Reacts with the baking soda to create a soft and fluffy texture.
  • Cane Sugar or Castor Sugar: Sweetens the cake and keeps it moist. Zulka cane sugar works beautifully in this recipe.
  • Light Brown Sugar: Adds moisture and a subtle caramel flavor.
  • Oil: Keeps the cake soft and tender for days. Neutral oils like sunflower or canola work best.
  • Vanilla Extract: Enhances the chocolate and coffee flavors.
  • All-Purpose Flour: Gives structure while keeping the crumb soft and light.
  • Cocoa Powder: Use good-quality unsweetened cocoa powder like Guittard or Valrhona for deep chocolate flavor.
  • Baking Soda & Baking Powder: Help the cake rise and create a fluffy texture. Make sure both are fresh.
  • Hot Coffee: Deepens and intensifies the chocolate flavor without making the cake taste like coffee.

Coffee Cream Cheese Filling

  • Cream Cheese: Creates a rich, creamy base. For dairy-free, use Violife or Kite Hill cream cheese.
  • Yogurt: Adds lightness and tang. Use Greek yogurt or dairy-free options like Cocojune or Silk almond yogurt.
  • Sugar: Sweetens and balances the coffee flavor.
  • Milk: Helps loosen the filling for a smooth texture. For dairy-free, use oat, soy, or almond milk like Oatly, Silk, or Califia Farms.
  • Instant Coffee / Espresso Powder: Adds deep coffee flavor and aroma.
  • Cornstarch: Helps thicken and stabilize the filling for a creamy consistency.
  • Vanilla Extract: Enhances and rounds out the flavor.

Coffee White Chocolate Glaze

  • White Chocolate: Gives the glaze a smooth, sweet, creamy finish. Use good-quality brands like Lindt or Callebaut. For dairy-free, use vegan white chocolate like Enjoy Life or Pascha.
  • Whipping Cream: Creates a silky, pourable glaze. For dairy-free, use plant-based whipping creams like Silk, Califia Farms, or Elmlea Plant.
  • Coffee or Espresso: Adds bold coffee flavor that balances the sweetness of the white chocolate.

Pro-Tips for the Best Chocolate Coffee Bundt Cake with Coffee Glaze

  • Grease the bundt pan thoroughly, making sure to get into every curve and corner to prevent sticking. I like to use soft butter with pastry brush followed by even coat with pan coating spray. 
  • Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter and even baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added, as this can make the cake dense.
  • For clean slices, dip the knife in hot water, wipe it clean, and repeat after each cut. Remove the cake from the fridge about 30 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor

How to Make Coffee Cream Cheese Filling

To make the coffee cream cheese filling, first whisk together milk, instant coffee, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth and lump-free.

In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, and vanilla until creamy and well combined.  Gradually add the coffee mixture into the cream cheese mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

How to make Chocolate Cake Batter

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a bundt pan well with soft butter using a brush, then lightly coat with pan spray. Mix milk and vinegar and let sit for 5 minutes. Whisk in sugar, brown sugar, oil, and vanilla until smooth.

Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Stir in hot coffee or boiling water until smooth.

How to layer the Chocolate Bundt Cake with Coffee Cream Cheese Filling

Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Spoon all of the coffee cream cheese filling over it, then top with remaining batter. Tap gently to release air bubbles and smooth the surface.

Bake for 35 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cool in pan for 30 minutes, then invert onto a rack/serving plate and cool completely.

Instructions

For the Coffee Cream Cheese Filling

  • In a bowl, combine soft cream cheese and yogurt, whisking slowly with an electric whisk to break up lumps until the mixture becomes completely smooth and creamy.
  • Add sugar and vanilla whisk until the sugar dissolves.
  • In a small bowl combine milk, instant coffee powder and cornstarch, mix well until combined and add to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well until fully combined.
  • Cover and set it aside.

For the Chocolate Bundt Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃), grease a 9-inch x 3.5-inch (24 cm x 8 cm) Bundt pan with soft butter using a pastry brush and then spray non-stick oil spray all over the pan.
  • In a bowl, mix the milk and lemon juice; let stand for 5 minutes to create homemade buttermilk.
  • Add oil, sugar, and vanilla to the buttermilk and whisk until the sugar begins to dissolve and the mixture turns glossy.
  • Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together to remove lumps and add to the wet mixture in two batches, whisking gently just until the batter becomes smooth avoid over mixing.
  • Pour in the boiling water or hot brewed coffee, whisking slowly as the cocoa blooms and the batter deepens in color and becomes glossy.
  • Pour half the chocolate batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing it into an even layer.
  • Add the coffee cheesecake mixture by spoonfuls on top of the first layer, keeping it away from the edges. Add the remaining chocolate batter on top and smooth gently with a spatula.
  • optional: Use a thin knife or skewer to swirl gently through the layers once or twice, creating a marbled effect without blending the layers together.
  • Tap the pan lightly on the counter to remove air pockets. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 35 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the chocolate portion comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
  • Cool the cake in the pan for 30 minutes so it firms slightly and pulls away from the sides. Place a serving plate or cake stand over the pan, invert, lift the pan off, and let the cake cool completely.

For the Coffee Glaze

  • Warm the whipping cream with instant coffee powder until steaming (not boiling) and pour over the chopped white chocolate.
  • Let sit for 30 seconds, then stir until smooth and glossy.
  • Allow to cool briefly until slightly thickened, keep stirring as skin may form then drizzle generously over the cooled cake, letting it cascade down the bundt ridges.
  • Reserve some of the glaze for serving is desired.
  • Store in an airtight container or under a cake cloche for 2 days at room temperature or up to 5 days in the fridge.

Notes

  • Cup vs weighing scale: The US customary cup measurement serves as a rough estimate, as it can have uncertainties, so for precise results, it's recommended to weigh your ingredients using a digital scale in grams.
  • Before you start to make any recipe, measure and prepare your ingredients so the process will go smoothly and easily.
  • For teaspoon (tsp) and tablespoon (tbsp) measurements, please use measuring spoons and not the type of spoons you eat with for accuracy.
  • Milk: You can use any dairy-free unsweetened milk (like oat, soy, almond) or dairy based whole milk.
  • Lemon Juice: You can substitute with Apple Cider Vinegar / White Vinegar and vice-versa.
  • Sugar: Cane sugar can be substituted with granulated sugar or castor sugar. Ensure the sugar is vegan-friendly (some sugars are processed with bone char) or organic cane sugar.
  • Plain Yogurt: Use dairy-free unsweetened yogurt or any plain Greek yogurt or sour cream of your choice.
  • Cream Cheese: Use dairy-free cream cheese such as Tofutti / Violife / Kite hill  or any plain cream cheese of your choice.
  • White Chocolate: For a dairy-free option, use brands like Enjoy Life, King David, Pascha, or Lindt Vegan White Chocolate.
