"Chocolate Cake" is a 1991 song by Australasian rock group Crowded House from their 1991 album Woodface. The song was not originally intended as the lead single, as it was intended for "It's Only Natural" to be the lead track. However, despite this, "Chocolate Cake" was released as the album's lead single. Despite performing marginally better than the singles from Temple of Low Men in the United States, the song was thought to offend due to its lyrics and the song gained only moderate performance in the US, as it referred to Americans having an "excess of fat on [their] American bones".[1] The song reached #2 on the US Modern Rock Tracks chart, but failed to reach the top 200 in the general US charts, while reaching #20 on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart, #62 on the Danish chart and #69 on the UK Singles Chart.[2]

The B-Sides featured are "As Sure as I Am", a song from Woodface, and "Anyone Can Tell", which was intended for release on the album however was not released due to the amalgamation of the Woodface project with the Finn Brothers project. The song later appeared on the rarities collection Afterglow and was released as its lead promotional single.
