National Chocolate Cake Day is a celebration of the beloved dessert that so many of us adore. It’s the go-to treat for life’s special moments—birthdays, weddings, anniversaries—and now, it’s a reason to indulge every year on January 27th. Why not take this day to enjoy a slice (or two) of chocolate cake, and savor the moment?
The history of cake mixes dates back to the 1920s when O. Duff and Sons created the first boxed cake mix. Later, in 1947, Betty Crocker launched its own line of dry cake mixes, making baking easier for home chefs everywhere.
As with all food holidays, National Chocolate Cake Day is a perfect excuse to treat yourself. Grab a slice from your favorite bakery, or better yet, show off your own baking skills! Whether you’re sharing a recipe, snapping photos, or even making a fun baking video, we love seeing how you celebrate. Let’s all come together and enjoy the sweetness of this day—because who doesn't love chocolate cake?
