10 Best Chocolate Cakes 2022 | UK Nutritionist Reviewed

This Cacao Chocolate Cake baking mix from Creative Nature is one of my favourites, and I always keep a bag in the cupboard just in case. It’s so easy to make and doesn’t contain any gluten, dairy, or nuts, so it’s perfect if you’re entertaining a big group with different dietary requirements. Per slice, it’s 8g of sugar and just 127 calories.

This is the ultimate Italian chocolate indulgance ganache cake, better still it is vegan, organic and gluten-free! The very minimal ingredients (without flour, butter nor eggs) have been carefully chosen to give a soft and voluptuous, intense chocolate taste.

This cake has been the winner of numerous Great Taste and International Chocolate Awards, thanks to the thirty year recipe development by baking artisans in Florence, Italy. Unbelievably you can get this heavenly cake sent to you through the post!

Although technically not a cake, these chocolate brownies had to make it onto our list, being widely rated in both their reviews and BBC Good Food Magazine as the best chocolate brownies around. And we must say, they're not wrong, so they are near the top.

Made using only British butter, free-range eggs, sugar, flour and high-quality dark Belgian chocolate, you don't have to worry about preservatives or unwanted ingredients and their taste is unbelievably chocolatey. They arrive beautifully packaged in tissue paper, raffia and their own Gower Cottage Brownies box, with a personalised message too. They are clearly made with passion and love.

A delicious cake filled and topped with Belgian chocolate frosting, what's not to love? It's rich and moist for a packaged cake - you can definitely tell that the foodies at Waitrose & Partners had a part in its creation!

Reasonably priced and indulgent without being over-sweet. We think it is the perfect size to enjoy as a couple over a special weekend, or you could take it along when a number of desserts are being shared. It's moreish so it won't stretch that far!

Tesco has created something special for a celebration with this decadent chocolate drip cake. It's a chocolate sponge cake, filled with a layer of salted caramel sauce, coated with chocolate flavour frosting and topped with an impressive-looking drip design.

If that's not enough to tempt you, then the excellent decoration will. The top is artfully hand- finished with fudge pieces, chocolate coated wheat crunchies, and chocolate decorations. This cake would make a stunning birthday cake centrepiece, for young and old alike.

Not only vegan but made with no hydrogenated fat, artificial colours or flavours, we found that it's not only on the healthier side (compared to other chocolate cakes) but hands down is the best tasting vegan supermarket option across the board.

You won't be able to get enough of this chocolate sponge cake, with chocolate frosting on both the inside and the outside! We love the detail of the lustred dark chocolate drops too. Impressively moist, your non-vegan friends may well not be able to tell the difference.

If you're looking for a slightly more delicate option, choose this elegant white chocolate and raspberry cake. The combination of Madeira sponge, white chocolate buttercream, raspberry jam and freeze dried raspberry pieces is divine, and its lightness makes it ideal for dessert after a big family get-together.

 It generously serves 14 people - especially as the white chocolate makes it very sweet so one slice is enough and satisfying. The white chocolate curls on the top make this an elegant option, especially as it goes well with a glass of prosecco.

A gratifying cake when you want to go all out chocolate - no holds barred! The Belgian milk chocolate ganache buttercream with the Belgian chocolate marbled curls will appeal to all chocolate fans.

The soft layered sponge, moist, sumptuous texture and delightful appearance were just what we were looking for in a cake. Messy, great value and deliciously indulgent. Quite a small cake so realistically would feed up to 4 (not 6) chocoholics.

This delicious three-layer vegan chocolate cake, proves you don't have to miss out when on a plant-based diet. An exceptionally tasty option, the chocolate icing isn't too sweet and it creates a delightful balance with the moist, rich fudge cake.

Pre-sliced into 14 pieces, it prevents waste and overindulgence and the cake arrives frozen in dry ice. It can be defrosted in four hours and tastes so fresh that you will be amazed it started off frozen. This comes highly recommended but the price-tag moves it lower down the rankings.

Okay, so this isn't one cake but eight!  It's difficult to think of a chocolate-loving child (or adult!) that wouldn't absolutely adore these at their party, so if there's a celebration for a chocoholic coming up, this cupcakes-by-post service is one to remember.

The included 8 mouth-watering flavours are: Chocolate Heaven, Chocolate Hazelnut, Salted Caramel, Black Forest, Black Bottom, Caramel Macadamia, Cookies & Cream and Chocolate. These cupcakes are handcrafted then packed with dry ice and posted out nationwide! The price point has kept these further down the list, but we reckon they are more than worth it for a special occasion.

Although it's not quite a traditional cake, we simply had to sneak in this offering from No-Guilt Bakes for being a fabulous ketogenic option. In fact, not only are they keto, but they are also sugar and gluten-free, made with almond and coconut flour and without preservatives of any kind - yet most importantly, they taste heavenly.

A genuinely healthy option for when you're craving that sweet treat, you get five packets for the price making them super convenient and good value too. Although we're strictly focusing on chocolate cakes in this review, be sure to check out the five other flavours, including cinnamon swirl and lemon and poppy seed.
