Chocolate cake is made with chocolate; it can be made with other ingredients, as well. These ingredients include fudge, vanilla creme, and other sweeteners. The history of chocolate cake goes back to 1764, when Dr. James Baker discovered how to make chocolate by grinding cocoa beans between two massive circular millstones.
This cake boasts a double helping of chocolate (in the form of real chocolate and cocoa powder) for a wildly big hit of chocolate heaven. Swathed in a fudgy chocolate cream all over the outside and the inside, it becomes a king amongst chocolate cakes! I have given instructions to make this cake the classic method or the all-in-one method. If you using all-in-one method then add the baking powder.
