WHY WE LOVE NATIONAL CHOCOLATE CAKE DAY
Chocolate Cake is the most memorable baked good of all time.
We can all reflect on our past Birthday celebrations and reminisce about the Cake we had. Cake and Chocolate are ingrained into American culture as symbols of celebration. No matter how you slice it, Chocolate Cake might be the most memorable guest of any party.
It’s Just The Right Chemistry
Cake evolved from early leavened Breads, which were sweetened with natural ingredients like Honey, Fruit, and Nuts and then expanded to include ingredients like Vanilla and Chocolate. It’s the simple combination of ingredients, most notably Chocolate, which work harmoniously to trigger our brain’s natural production of Opiates, which help alleviate pain and increase our positive feeling of well-being. It’s clearly the perfect combination of both simple and sweet.
It Leaves Us Smitten
Chocolate triggers the release of Serotonin and Endorphins, which are Neurotransmitters for happiness and pleasure. It also contains Phenylethylamine, which elevates our mood when feeling happiness or love.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
