This delightful treat hails from the United States, believed to have originated in the late 18th century. One interesting story is that the term 'chocolate cake' began to be used in the late 1800s, when an American cook named Eliza Leslie included a recipe for it in her cookbook. Before this, recipes that combined chocolate and cake were often referred to as 'chocolate pound cake' or 'chocolate tea cake'. The accessibility and popularity of chocolate cakes soared in the mid-20th century with the mass production of cocoa powder. Today, it stands as an iconic dessert, celebrated world over for its rich, decadent flavor and its comforting familiarity.
