Hi, Thanks for this. I grew up in Queens and I am 99% certain we had an Ebinger’s bakery too which was phenominal! There is no comparison these days to the old New York style bakeries of days gone by. I won’t be making this cake since it has too many steps for my liking, but it sounds really good.

If a recipe as originally written fails to come out as advertised or expected the food lab works with the recipe and corrects that recipe before publishing. The background of Brooklyn Black Cake happened because during World War II., the United States Navy was using Brooklyn Navy Yard and harbor facilities for the war effort after the Navy made peace with Lucky Luciano and the Mafia. Black outs were frequent to protect our ships from Nazi Submarines and workers in Brooklyn decided if we can't work we can at least eat. Brooklyn Black Cake was made to fill that need.
