Question
what is the history behind the chocolate spoon cake?
Hi Dena,
I can not find any history on The Chocolate Spoon Cake. Is there another name it might be recognized by?
I have found a few people who believe they are the inventors on the spoon cake and call it an invention based upon necessity. Perhaps when a cake recipe did not give the results expected, they became creative as to how they would use a cake that was otherwise unusable.
I wish I could be a better resource for you, but my searches inside and outside my personal files yielded nothing for a history of the Chocolate Spoon Cake.
Wishing you the best,
Micki

As a lover and life long cook, I would love to help you with you cooking and baking questions and concerns. I am especially interested in healthy cooking and baking. I am a fan of olive oil and havepersonally experienced the health benefits of using wholesome ingredients in all of my cooking and baking. I am a proponent of real food and promote a healthier diet, but not at the expense of taste. Let's face it, who wants to eat health food when it tastes like health food? I would love to share some of my techniques and secrets regarding sneak nutrition (getting your family to eat healthy foods without telling them), and answer just about any question in regards to cooking; baking, tips, etc...
