13 of the best chocolate cakes in Chicago

Call it hyperbole if you’d like, but the cake listed as “Best Piece of (Chocolate) Cake” on the menu at Dos Urban Cantina has a serious claim to the title. Each crumb exudes more chocolate essence than the entirety of other cakes I’ve tried, and the slice stays remarkable moist throughout. How the dessert fits in with the rest of the Mexican menu is a fair question, but there’s seriously no dessert in the whole city that I’ve devoured more often or with as much pleasure as this one. $7. 2829 W.
