I love a good Chocolate Cake.
I'm so thankful for Dr James BAker who discovered how to make chocolate by grinding cocoa beans!
When that happened?
all the way in 1764! and in 1828 Conrad Houten ldeveloped a method for extracting the fat from cacao liquor
Do you mean that chocolate didn't exist before 1764,  I thought it was much older.  Were was he from Dr. James Baker?
I'm not sure where he was from but believe it or not until 1890 chocolate recipes were mostly for chocolate drinks 
What? So they were missing solid delicious chocolate before that, poor things! Not that I don't love chocolate milk too.
i love chocolate in any form :) In 1886 American cooks began adding chocolate to the cake batter to make the first chocolate cake in the US
