CHOCOLATE CAKEThe term "chocolate cake" can be applied to most cakes 
This extremely popular confection usually includes some combination of eggs, sugar, cocoa powder, chocolate, butter or oil, water or milk, salt, and baking soda. Some bakers use vanilla extracts, liqueurs, or flavored liquids like coffee to bring out different properties in the chocolate flavor. Other additions and variations may include sour cream, buttermilk, fruit juices, or syrups. A variety of toppings, icings and glazes can also be used, as well as spices. It's often served at celebratory gatherings such as birthday parties and weddings.

Each gourmet cake is baked with the freshest ingredients and adorned with a decorative chocolate plaque imported from Belgium.A greeting card is also included. _____________________________________________________________________ Chocolate cake is a dessert popularized almost internationally by the end of the 19th century: In the first half of the 19th century the typical chocolate cake was a yellow or spice cake meant to accompany a chocolate beverage (hot chocolate, cocoa). In the second half, it was either a white or yellow cake with chocolate icing or a cake actually made with chocolate. Now chocolate is the indispensable ingredient for a multitude of cake varieties such as Black Forest Cake and German Chocolate Cake. _____________________________________________________________________ SAVORIQUE.com _____________________________________________________________________ 
The history of cakes dates back to ancient times...
According to food historians, the ancient Egyptians were the first culture to show evidence of advanced baking skills. But, the first cakes were very different from what we're familiar with today. Then they were more bread-like, sweetened with honey, and nuts and dried fruits were often added. In fact, in early Europe, the words for cake and bread were virtually interchangeable; the only distinction was that cakes were sweet while bread was not.

_____________________________________________________________________The first frosting for cake was usually a boiled combination of the finest available sugar, egg whites, and (occasionally) flavorings.This "icing" was poured on the cake and then the cake was returned to the oven for a short time.After the cake was removed, the icing cooled quickly and formed a hard, glossy coating. In the first few decades of the 20th century, buttercream frostings (which use butter, cream, powdered sugar, and flavorings) began supplanting conventional boiled icings.
