Death by Chocolate cake in Harare

What it tastes like

Intense, layered, and unapologetically chocolate.

Death by Chocolate is the cake we bake for the chocolate person at the table. Dark chocolate sponge baked with single-origin cocoa, layered with chocolate ganache and smooth chocolate buttercream, then finished with chocolate shards. Four kinds of chocolate in one cake, balanced so it reads as rich, not sickly.

Common questions

Death by Chocolate cake, answered.

How much does a Death by Chocolate cake cost?

From $35 for the 6-inch (serves 8 to 10), with the 8-inch and 10-inch priced from the standard signature cake size guide. Decoration extras (sugar flowers, edible-print toppers, painted finishes, colour-matched buttercream) are quoted on top. See full pricing →

What's the difference between Death by Chocolate and a regular chocolate cake?

A regular chocolate cake is one chocolate sponge with chocolate buttercream. Death by Chocolate adds a chocolate ganache layer between the sponges and a chocolate-shard finish on top. It's denser, richer, and built for guests who want more chocolate, not less.

Can it travel in the heat?

Yes. The chocolate buttercream is more heat-stable than fresh cream, and we deliver in a temperature-controlled vehicle across Harare. For outdoor venues we time the delivery to your serve window so the cake is set before the sun is on it.

Can I get this cake eggless or vegan?

Yes, with two days' notice. Eggless Death by Chocolate uses a vinegar-and-baking-soda lift; vegan uses a plant-based ganache. Both hold the layered character of the original.
