Funnily enough this thought crossed my mind yesterday when I was baking a chocolate slice. I could not get the regular brand of cocoa that I normally get so had to buy a different brand and I noticed how pale the slice was compared to what I have been used to over the last few years. It did make me think back to when I first started baking many years ago when basically there was limited choice in cocoa and the cakes and biscuits were pale. Maybe we have become used to the different cocoas available on the market now.

I remember paler and simpler cakes growing up - maybe they just never thought to add more cocoa as its wasnt the cafe culture it is now so they werent seeing all the rich dark cakes? (especially in NZ anyway) A bit like instant coffee being the norm then compared to now - we are all home baristas!
