Who doesn’t love chocolate? Chocolate is known for its decadent and satisfying taste, especially when combined with sugar and dairy products.
Turn it into a chocolate cake, and we’ve got a winning combination of comfort food and fun, whether it’s for celebratory occasions or the endless days in between. (PMS and stress at work, we’re watching you.)
Here, we’ve rounded up the best (in our opinion) chocolate cakes in Singapore to get your fix. Keep scrolling to find out and keep this page handy.
PS You can make your own chocolate cake, but unless you are confident and experienced like Fann Wong and other home bakers, you are probably better off ordering a rich, chewy, guaranteed chocolate cake from these stores. .
