National Chocolate Cake Day is January 27th

January 27th is National chocolate cake day!  According to National Day Calendar website and the Dover Post, the chocolate cake was born in 1765 when a doctor and a chocolate maker teamed up in an old mill.  I hate to admit it, but I don't think I could count how many pieces of chocolate I've eaten through the course of me life.  I'd just say it's a lot.

I guess I would pick German Chocolate cake as my favorite, second choice would be my family's recipe of chocolate caramel cake. I will note that when I order at Boston Market I always get a piece of their dark chocolate cake for dessert, it's so good.

Here's the recipe for the best ever chocolate cake from add a pinch.  Let's hope we all get chocolate cake on Saturday, January 27th to celebrate! #Nationalchocolatecakeday
