Their chocolate cake is unusual. It is made using a special method to ensure the taste nuances meet the standards. Not easy, but the result is worth the effort!
The History
The first recipe was published in 1898 in the Indiana State Regular Edition. Sarah Rorer included the dish in her own cookbook, published in 1902. The legend says a restaurant patron asked the cook for the cake’s recipe. She got it, but also received a bill for $100! At the end of the 1970s, the cake was made much less: Americans fear content of artificial dyes.
