🍰 About Me – Meet Emily from Cake Without Eggs
Hi there, I’m Emily Blake—a dessert-loving, egg-free baking enthusiast, and the mom behind Cake Without Eggs! I’m so happy you found your way here.
I’m originally from the dreamy coastal town of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, where I grew up surrounded by ocean air, weekend farmers’ markets, and the comforting smell of homemade baked goods. After marrying my husband Nabil, life took us on a beautiful adventure—one that now has us living in Morocco, raising our two little ones: William, our curious and always-hungry 8-year-old, and Amelia, our spirited and frosting-obsessed 5-year-old.
This blog is my virtual kitchen, a space filled with warmth, stories, and of course, tons of delicious eggless dessert recipes. But Cake Without Eggs is more than just a collection of sweets—it’s a mission, a journey, and a whole lot of love poured into every recipe I share.
Why I Bake Without Eggs
My journey into egg-free baking didn’t begin with a love of alternative diets—it began with a diagnosis.
When William was just a toddler, we discovered he had a serious egg allergy. Like any parent, my first reaction was worry: What will he eat? What about birthday cakes? How will we bake together like I did with my mom? It felt like a door had slammed shut on a part of our family tradition. But instead of giving up, I decided to learn everything I could about baking without eggs.
The first year? Messy. Frustrating. A lot of collapsed cakes and gooey cookies that didn’t quite make the cut.
But over time, I figured out the science, learned what worked and what flopped, and most importantly—how to bring flavor and joy back into our baking. And just like that, Cake Without Eggs was born.
What This Blog Is All About
This space is dedicated to egg-free desserts that never taste like they’re missing a thing. My goal is to help home bakers—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro—create delicious baked goods that just happen to be egg-free. No weird ingredients. No confusing swaps. Just real treats made with real love.
Whether you’re here because:

- You follow a plant-based or egg-free lifestyle
- You ran out of eggs and still want dessert (we’ve all been there!)
- You love baking and want to try something new
…I’ve got you covered.

A Little More About Me
- I’m a self-taught baker, which means if I can do this, you absolutely can too.
- I believe the best therapy is baking something sweet and sharing it with someone you love.
- My kids are my recipe testers, my husband Nabil is my biggest cheerleader, and our little Moroccan kitchen is where the magic happens.
- I love creating traditions around food, like Sunday morning muffins or cake on “just because” days.
- I’m happiest with a mixing bowl in one hand, a playlist in the background, and two kids sneaking spoonfuls of batter from the counter.
And yes, I still burn cookies from time to time. That’s real life—and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
🌿 Life Between Two Worlds
Living between two cultures has deeply shaped the way I cook, parent, and celebrate food. California gave me my love of wholesome ingredients, creativity, and big, joyful flavors. Morocco has given me warmth, spice, and a deep appreciation for hospitality and tradition. I try to blend both in everything I bake—whether it’s a classic American chocolate cake or a cinnamon-kissed date tart inspired by the souks of Marrakesh.
