3. Lana Cakes
It’s back to classics with the chocolate fudge cake from Lana Cakes. Founder Violet Kwan started baking this well-loved classic in 1964 and it has remained a mainstay on the menu – and for great reason. Just think soft, moist and feather-light chiffon cake generously slathered with a signature chocolate fudge. Every bite is chocolatey, fudgey and utterly irresistible. What more can you ask for?

4. Luna Patisserie
You may know these folks for their signature orh nee cake, but we’re casting the limelight on the chocolate cakes that look (almost) too pretty to eat. Chocoholics will adore the Luna 2.0. It boasts a Valrhona Guanaja 70% chocolate mousse, with a crunchy core with crushed hazelnuts, salted caramel, hazelnut dacquoise and dark chocolate-coated feuilletine. Another option is the Chocolate Rocher that draws inspiration from the iconic Ferrero Rocher. Bite into moist chocolate sponge and luscious dark chocolate ganache encased in a hazelnut-studded shell for the ultimate indulgence.

The moniker is a dead giveaway, innit? Touted as the cake that started it all – it’s been the dessert store’s bestseller for 20 years – the signature All Chocolate cake spotlights chocolate in its full glory. No cream in sight, just decadent layers of chocolate layered between sponge cake. But if you want a little extra razzle-dazzle, it also comes in flavours of banana or rum and cherry.

11. Chalk Farm
Chalk Farm’s iteration of the dark chocolate cake is extra luscious. The secret? Don’t be shocked – it’s olive oil. The proof is in the pudding, or in this case, the batter. Olive oil actually lends a fruity flavour to the rich chocolate. For something boozy, the chocolate Baileys cake… takes the cake. Plus, it comes with a lush Baileys cream and chocolate marble frosting.

12. Lavo Singapore
Lavo’s location isn’t the only thing that’s elevated. Enter its 20-layer chocolate cake. Yes, you read that right! Devil’s food cake and peanut butter mascarpone are stacked on top of one another to create this sinful treat. So forget about the calories and just dig right in. No regrets!
