The earliest versions of cake were actually flat, compact discs of grain which were dried and compacted together. The first verifiable recipe for chocolate cake appeared in Eliza Leslie's 1847 cookbook. The actual formula, however, wasn't quite what we'd recognize as a chocolate cake today. Leslie's recipe called for chopped pieces of chocolate inserted into a plain sponge, instead of adding cocoa powder to the mix itself. Rudolf Lindt, a chocolatier, invented the conching process in 1879 to create smoother, silkier chocolate that people could use in baking. Thank you very much, Mr. Lindt. That converted chocolate cakes from white or yellow cakes to the stunning confections we know today.
