Origin of Chocolate cake
Throughout America, up to the 1830s or 40s cocoa was eaten mainly as a snack, and as we think of them today, chocolate cakes mostly did not exist back then. The chocolate cake was born in 1765, according to the Dover Post, when a doctor (Dr. James Baker) and a chocolate maker paired up in an ancient factory, consequently, they ground cocoa beans between enormous millstones to create a thick syrup.
In addition, American cooks started adding chocolate to the cake batter in 1886, creating the first chocolate cakes in the US.
