-
Darius: It wasn't Brenda. Neither was it Charles.
-
Brenda: It wasn't Charles. It was Alfred.
-
Alfred: It wasn't Darius. It was Charles.

The easiest way would be to first look at Darius' statements. Since exactly one of his statements was false, either Brenda or Charles was the culprit. If Charles ate the cake, then looking at Alfred's statments, both would turn out to be true would contradicts with the fact that Alfred told a lie. Hence Brenda ate the cake.
