Feast your eyes on a very rare sight. Pictured above is Cake Myth a Ebinger’s Brooklyn Blackout Cake by Katie Workman from the mom 100 blog. The Legend begins when Ebinger’s created this cake during World War II. Because of its dark chocolate, nearly black appearance, it was named after the blackout drills performed by the Civilian Defense Corps. Foodie historian Molly O’Neill wrote…
It is, three layers of devil’s food cake sandwiching a dark chocolate pudding with chocolate frosting and sprinkled with chocolate cake crumbs. So please Don’t Drool on the Picture and bake this cake myth.
