Anyone who's ever baked a boxed mix chocolate cake probably thinks they know what chocolate smells like. Nonetheless, a real surprise awaits those who venture into baking chocolate cake from scratch. Dawn Trook of Sweetie Pie's House of Butter (Merced, California) is nationally known for her "sky-high" apple pies. She also has advice about baking chocolate cake, which she shared with Suite 101.
That Chocolate Aroma is an Illusion
On first baking chocolate cake from scratch, it's hard not to notice that the overpowering, delicious aroma of boxed mixes is ... well, not there. Though the finished product may be delicious, it too is different than the store-bought mixes. Trook, who sells her baked goodies at Sweetie Pie's House of Butter, states that boxed cake mixes are full of chemicals and often solid, dried fats.
"So though you might smell 'chocolate,'" she states, "you are only smelling the idea of chocolate. The stuff in the boxes has been tainted from its pure form."
