Blackout Cake, also known as Brooklyn Blackout Cake, is a moist chocolate cake with a chocolate pudding filling, frosted with chocolate icing, and garnished with chocolate cake crumbs.

The original Brooklyn Blackout cake is from Ebinger’s Baking Company in Brooklyn, New York. Unfortunately, it isn’t a cake you can buy because the bakery closed in 1972.
