THE INCEPTION OF CHOCOLATE CAKE AND THE NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY
Until the 1830s in America and The United Kingdom, Chocolate was a popular beverage. Cakes, as we think of them all frosted with icing did not exist. In fact, what was popularly understood as “chocolate cake”, was a white cake. Although chocolate began to be used in sauces, the primary conception of chocolate as a liquid treat continued into the beginning of the 20th century.
According to the Dover Post, the chocolate cake was born in 1765 when a doctor and a chocolate maker annexed up in an old mill. Then what happens? The cocoa beans are crushed between huge millstones to make a thick syrup. (Mmmm…sounds delicious) The liquid is poured into moulds shaped like cakes, which are now meant to be transformed into a beverage. Years later, in the 1800s, an Austrian chef created a unique dessert for a prince. He had spread jam between two layers of chocolate dough. After that, he slowly poured chocolate frosting over the dessert. Thus the blessing of the divine: chocolate cake. And thanks to them that we have NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY to cheer ourselves.
O. Duff and Sons created the first cake mix box with an instruction to just add water to the batter.
So go, bake, share and eat your CHOCOLATY CAKE and wish your loved ones a HAPPY NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY. Here is how you can bake creamy, chocolaty, moist, eggless one!
