Brooklyn Blackout Cake ala Ebinger

New Yorkers are famously argumentative, and there’s nothing they like better than an argument about something that doesn’t exist. That way no tiresome facts can interfere with the fun of arguing. One of Brooklyn’s longest-running arguments (after “Who makes the best pizza, Patsy’s or Totonno’s?”) is about Ebinger’s Blackout Cake. Can mere mortals make Blackout Cake, especially without the signature blue box?

Ebinger’s was a chain of bakeries in Brooklyn renowned for the purity of its ingredients, the sparkling cleanliness of its stores, and the deep chocolatiness of this cake. Even though the last Ebinger’s finally closed in 1972, some devotees kept Blackout Cakes in their freezers for years afterward.

The good news is that our baker here at Coffee Works has tackled this cake after exhaustive research. After sharing it with a number of friends who grew up in Brooklyn, the verdict is in. They were a tough crowd, but they tell us we got it right. So, Blackout Cake is back! And Coffee Works has it! A very dark moist chocolate cake with the famous chocolate custard filling, the perfect deep, velvety, very, very dark brown chocolate custard filling. Can you eat just one slice? Maybe so, but will you be back tomorrow for another slice? Where will it stop?
