December 8th is Brownie
December 8th is Brownie Day in the United States. This date celebrates one of the country's most beloved sweets: the brownie, a dense and delicious chocolate cake, which is often cut into squares or rectangles. The origin of the brownie dates back to the late 19th century. It is believed that the first brownie was created in 1893, at the Chicago World's Fair, when a chef forgot to add baking powder to a chocolate cake recipe. The result was a denser, fudgy cake, which soon became a success. The recipe for brownies began to be published in cookbooks from the early 20th century, and quickly spread throughout the country. Since then, many variations of the brownie have been developed, including versions with nuts, caramel, cream cheese and even vegan brownies.
