What Is a Chocotorta?
Chocotorta Cake (literally “chocolate cake” in Spanish) is a classic Argentine icebox cake made by layering coffee-soaked chocolate cookies with a silky cream cheese and dulce de leche filling. Often described as a Latin American version of tiramisu, the chocotorta requires no baking—it sets in the refrigerator, allowing the flavors to meld into pure indulgence.
This isn’t just any dessert—it’s the most popular birthday cake in Argentina. Every family gathering, every celebration features a chocotorta at the center of the table. Now, Miami’s vibrant Argentine and Latin American community can enjoy this taste of home.
The History Behind Argentina’s Favorite Cake
The chocotorta was invented in 1982 by Marité Mabragaña, an advertising professional in Buenos Aires. She created the recipe to promote three Argentine brands: Chocolinas cookies, Mendicrim cream cheese, and dulce de leche. The dessert became an instant sensation and has remained Argentina’s unofficial national cake ever since.
What makes the chocotorta special is its simplicity—just four main ingredients create a flavor profile that’s rich, not-too-sweet, and absolutely addictive. The cream cheese adds a subtle tang that perfectly balances the caramel sweetness of the dulce de leche.
Why Our Chocotorta Stands Out in Miami
At CAKES MAKER, we honor the authentic Argentine recipe while adding our signature touch:
- Premium Dulce de Leche: We use thick, Argentine-style dulce de leche for that authentic caramel flavor
- Real Chocolinas Cookies: Imported chocolate cookies for the genuine texture and taste
- Coffee-Soaked Layers: Each cookie is perfectly dipped in fresh coffee for that subtle, sophisticated note
- Handcrafted Daily: Made fresh for every order, never mass-produced

Perfect for Every Miami Celebration
The chocotorta is incredibly versatile. Order it for:
- Birthday Parties: The traditional Argentine birthday cake choice
- Family Gatherings: A crowd-pleaser that serves 12-16 guests
- Office Celebrations: Easy to slice and serve, no plates needed
- Dinner Parties: Impressive yet effortless dessert
- Just Because: Sometimes you deserve a treat!
Because chocotorta is a no-bake dessert, it actually tastes better the next day once all the flavors have melded together. This makes it perfect for planning ahead!
How Does Chocotorta Compare to Tiramisu?
Many people ask about the difference between chocotorta and tiramisu. While both are layered, coffee-soaked desserts, there are key differences:
- Cookies vs Ladyfingers: Chocotorta uses chocolate cookies instead of sponge ladyfingers
- Dulce de Leche vs Mascarpone: The Argentine version features dulce de leche, giving it a caramel note
- Cream Cheese vs Eggs: Chocotorta uses cream cheese (no raw eggs!)
- Chocolate vs Cocoa: The chocolate flavor comes from the cookies themselves
The result? A richer, more chocolatey experience with that distinctive dulce de leche sweetness that makes Argentine desserts so special.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chocotorta
What does chocotorta taste like?
Chocotorta has a rich, indulgent flavor that combines chocolate, caramel (from the dulce de leche), and subtle coffee notes. The texture is creamy and soft, as the cookies absorb moisture from the filling. It’s sweet but not overwhelmingly so—the cream cheese adds a pleasant tang that balances the sweetness perfectly.
How long does chocotorta last?
Chocotorta keeps well in the refrigerator for 4-5 days when stored in an airtight container. In fact, many people say it tastes even better on day 2 or 3 as the flavors continue to develop and the layers become more cohesive.
Is chocotorta served cold?
Yes! Chocotorta is always served chilled, directly from the refrigerator. This keeps the layers firm and the filling creamy. Let it sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture.

Our standard chocotorta serves 12-16 people, making it perfect for birthday parties and family gatherings. For larger events, we can prepare custom sizes—just contact us!
