Chocolate cake is wonderfully versatile and easy to make. Chocolate is easy to work with and has a rich irresistible flavour that makes sensational cakes.
The quality of chocolate varies considerably. To be called chocolate it must have a minimum of 34 per cent cocoa butter. The finest quality block chocolate always contains a high proportion of cocoa butter. The more cocoa butter the chocolate contains the softer and creamier it will be. In inferior types of chocolate, palm or vegetable oils or shortenings are substituted for cocoa butter.
Chocolate flavoured cake covering is not a patch on the real thing. It contains cocoa solids but no cocoa butter, which is replaced by vegetable oils. This makes it easier to melt and handle and it does make excellent curls but the flavour is far inferior to real chocolate.
