Blackout cake

Blackout cake, also known as Brooklyn Blackout cake, is a rich, chocolate layer cake, filled and topped with dark chocolate pudding, and coated with cake crumbs. It is named after the blackout drills performed by the Civilian Defense Corps during World War II in Brooklyn, New York where the cake was originally created.

History

The Blackout cake was first made by a Brooklyn-based bakery chain named Ebinger's in 1906. The cake was named in honor of the mandatory blackouts during World War II by the Civilian Defense Corps. The bakery was famous for its well-crafted cakes and pastries, but the Blackout cake was their most popular product. Unfortunately, Ebinger's went out of business in 1972, but the legacy of the Blackout cake lives on.

Description

The Blackout cake is a chocolate cake that is known for its dark, almost black appearance. It is a layered cake, typically with three layers of cake and two layers of pudding. The cake is then covered with a layer of the same pudding, and finally, it is coated with cake crumbs. The cake is known for its moist and rich texture, and intense chocolate flavor.

Preparation

The preparation of a Blackout cake involves several steps. First, the chocolate cake layers are baked. While the cake is cooling, a dark chocolate pudding is prepared. The pudding is then used to fill the layers of the cake and to cover the outside. Finally, the cake is coated with cake crumbs, which are often made from the same cake batter.

Variations

There are several variations of the Blackout cake. Some recipes use a chocolate ganache instead of a pudding for the filling and topping. Others add a layer of whipped cream or cream cheese frosting in the middle. Some versions also include a hint of coffee in the cake batter or in the pudding to enhance the chocolate flavor.

In popular culture

The Blackout cake has been featured in several books and television shows. It is often associated with Brooklyn and New York City, and is considered a classic American dessert.
