Chocolate Cake History

Chocolate wasn’t a popular food until the late 1670s when it was first used in cake. At that time, it was very expensive to purchase cocoa beans, so eating chocolate cake was a symbol of wealth. The popularity of the cake and the lower cost of cocoa led to the development of chocolate bars and other delicacies.

Chocolate cake recipes used to be off-limits for wedding cakes because it was too heavy and didn’t lend itself well to being molded on top of a delicate cake. But in recent years, bakers have found ways to use the popular flavor and have developed double chocolate frosting centerpieces for brides.

Ask most kids what kind of cake they want for their birthday cake and you’ll almost always be told “chocolate.” Many adults are also indulging in chocolate cake recipes thanks to recent information about the health benefits of chocolate. Eating dark chocolate can help reduce your risk of heart disease and diabetes and it may even help rid your teeth of plaque. With news like that, who needs an excuse to treat yourself?
