About National Chocolate Cake Day
Ends: Jan 27, 2020
DESCRIPTION:
Love chocolate cake? Then you have James Baker to thanks.
Baker invented chocolate as we know it today, that is, in a form that could easily be cooked. In 1764 Mr. Baker placed beans between millstones and ground them down to dust. This powder could then be mixed with liquids or solids to change the flavor, the same way you add salt or other seasonings. However, this process was quite expensive, so only the wealthiest people could afford it. By the early nineteenth century (1828) Conrad Van Houten developed a method for extracting the cacao liquor from the fat in the cocoa bean. This made chocolate an affordable ingredient and its popularity took off.
Devil’s Food cake by the Pittsburgh based Duff Company was the first chocolate cake mix. However, WWII got in the way and at the end of the war Duncan Hines and General Mills burst on the scene with their mixes and took nearly half the market between them.
By the millennium, artisan chocolate cakes, those without flour and closer to the consistency of fudge brownies with less sugar became the rage.
However you like your chocolate cake, today is the day to enjoy it. Indulge!
