I'm interested in chocolate cake, it's my grandson's favorite.

I love chocolate cake! And chocolate in general, honestly. The history is so interesting! Chocolate cake was first discovered in 1764.

where was it discovered?

Right here in America! But another doctor in the Netherlands found an easier way of making the cake in 1828.

that's neat. What's the best way of making chocolate cake?

In my opinion, buy the store made stuff :P But I heard some people use fudge, vanilla beans and other sweeteners to enhance the cocoa powder necessary to make it from scratch.

I always thought that store mix wan't as good as making it from scratch. That's really interesting. Why is store bought better?

My boyfriend's mom is a baker and she tells me that it's best to start with the store bought stuff and add your own enhancers to give it your own unique spin. She said the frosting is worth making from scratch, rather than the cake itself.
