Argentina’s Chocotorta Is Ranked the World’s Second-Best Chocolate Cake

TasteAtlas’ crowd-sourced ranking spotlights the no-bake dessert’s simple layers of chocolate biscuits, dulce de leche, cream cheese, raising its international visibility.

Overview

  • TasteAtlas published a crowd-sourced ranking that placed Sweden’s kladdkaka first and Argentina’s chocotorta second on Tuesday, October 6, 2026.
  • The portal described the chocotorta as a no-bake, tiramisù-inspired cake made from layers of chocolate biscuits, a dulce de leche and cream-cheese mixture, and softened with milk, coffee or chocolate drink.
  • The list puts the chocotorta ahead of Italy’s torta caprese, the U.S. molten lava cake and Brazil’s bolo de brigadeiro, reflecting user ratings from thousands of diners.
  • TasteAtlas and Argentine reports note that the chocotorta is hugely popular in home kitchens but still rarely appears on restaurant menus and remains little known outside Argentina.
  • Coverage highlights a common origin story that ties the recipe to a promotional biscuit package, and the ranking could increase demand for the dessert on menus and among international visitors.
