I know mine too! it is also called chocolate gateau (from french words) and it is a cake flavored with either meltd chocolate, cocoa powder, or both.

I've not had that variant. The one that I like most uses a mayonnaise in it.

You should chocolate cake has a history! It goes back to 1794 when Dr. James baker discovered how to make chocolate by grinding cocoa beans between two massive circular milstones. It's been around for  a while so as you can imagine thousands of recipes have come up since that time

Are there any good books about chocolate cake that you know of?
1_Wizard
The only book on chocolate i have is one on keto, but you dont want to try it unless you are ACTUALLY on keto because it will taste a little different haha. But there is a band in melbourne austrailia called My Friend the Chocolate Cake. Would be funny if their favorite cake was strawberry though

Yeah, I imagine keto chocolate is unsweetened, so would be a little more bitter than normal.  What genre of music is My Friend the Chocolate Cake?
1_Wizard
They are a contemporary band! They won two ARIA music awards for it. Two of their albums are "Brood" and "Good Luck" :)

I'll have to look them up.  Do you enjoy ice cream with your cake, or just chocolate cake by itself?
1_Wizard
Both. I can eat chocolate cake for breakfast LOL! But that wasnt possible for those in the 1800s because until around 1900 chocolate recies were mostly for drinks and whe it came to cakes it was only in fillings and glazes. That is upsetting to hear but at least we know better now haha.
