This delightful chocolate cake recipe is reflective of the great American tradition of baking. Interestingly, chocolate as an ingredient in cakes did not gain popularity until the 19th century. Before then, chocolate was predominantly consumed as a beverage. It was the advent of cocoa powder in the 1820s, created by a process invented by Dutch chemist Coenraad Van Houten, that set the stage for chocolate to become the baking staple we know and love today. By the end of the 19th century, with the industrialization of food production and the publication of several influential cookbooks, chocolate cake had become a beloved dessert across America.
