In 1764 Dr James Baker discovered how to make chocolate by grinding cocoa beans. It was soon after that chocolate was incorporated in to cakes and baked goods. In the 1930s The Duff Company, from Pittsburgh, introduced the first chocolate cake mixes, and after the war Duncan Hines and General Mills followed suit. There are many different kinds of chocolate cake – Devil’s Food, Black Forest, and even Red Velvet!
