When I saw everyone on
Facebook making cakes I didn't want to be left out so I made The Chocolate Chip Cake from The United Cakes of
America by Warren Brown. The cake is listed under the state Massachusetts; where
the Nestlé Toll House Cookie was created!
Ruth Wakefield is the
creator of the Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chip cookie. The recipe is still printed on the back of the Toll House Morsels package today!Her and her husband owned The Toll House Inn, which was once
located in Whitman, Massachusetts. It has sadly since burnt down, but there is
a landmark. The land is now unfortunately home to a Wendy’s and a Walgreens.
The story goes that Ruth was trying to make chocolate cookies
and thought the chips would melt in the batter and make the cookies chocolate.
The story has been disputed saying that Ruth was an accomplished cook/chef and
would have known that the chocolate wouldn't have melted. Either way she has
become infamous with the discovery of America’s most iconic cookie: The Chocolate
Chip!

The cake is surprisingly decadent and so amazing!! It tastes
just like a chocolate chip cookie fresh from the oven. The Chocolate frosting
in the middle is rich and so incredibly yummy!! I would highly recommend it!
So far, the two cakes I have made from this book has not
disappointed! ~ Janet
Check out my Coca Cola Cake!
Information is a mix from the book and wikipedia.
Recipe can be found in: The
United Cakes of America by Warren Brown
Woah, this looks SO good! Love that thick layer of fudgy chocolate frosting in the middle! I always skip by this cake in the book because I like my cakes to be frosted all the way round...and this one just looked too plain for my liking but your pictures are making me reconsider!!
ReplyDeleteJanet told me her family loved this cake and it was more cookie like then cake, but super delicious!
