Origins of Chocolate Cake

Dr. James Baker learned how to create chocolate by grinding cocoa beans between two large circular millstones in 1764, and the history of chocolate cake begins there.

Eliza Leslie, a well-known Philadelphia cookbook author, wrote the first chocolate cake recipe in 1847 in The Lady’s Receipt Book.

This chocolate cake recipe, unlike others, used chopped chocolate. In the 19th century, pastry chefs made magnificent chocolate delights for the wealthy, notably in France and Austria.

Chocolate, in any form, remained a rare delight reserved for special occasions for the majority of the population. Chocolate cake did not reach the public until the twentieth century, when cacao costs became more reasonable.

Depending on the recipe and the type of chocolate used, there are many different types of chocolate cake available today. Chocolate cake recipes change from country to country.
