Imagine if every time you ordered chocolate cake, it was always either taken away by the waiters before you could finish, or the last few bites tasted disgusting and put you off the whole cake. And when you bring this up, people who like vanilla cake say that this sometimes happens to them too, but don't listen when you tell them that this happens disproportionately to chocolate cake.
And sometimes, a bakery will advertise chocolate cake but its really just a vanilla cake with chocolate chips. And you take it, because at least its got chocolate but you just wish it was advertised properly.
And sometimes, people say that something is a vanilla chocolate chip cake but its not even chocolate! Its just sultanas that everyone thinks were meant to be chocolate, but the bakery never said it was going to chocolate, even if they never said it wasn't.
And whenever you go into a new bakery looking for chocolate cake, everyone looks at you weirdly and tells you to enjoy vanilla chocolate chip cake when maybe you don't want the focus to be on vanilla.
And when you DO get chocolate cake, its always the same kind. And you settle, because hey, beggars cant be choosers, right? Its always just white chocolate all the way through, no dark chocolate, no milk chocolate, not even a Mars bar on the side. It feels more like a vanilla cake, to be honest, regardless of the fact that its undeniably technically chocolate.
And you just wish that just once you could finish a chocolate cake and have it taste nice all the way through, especially with all the growing hatred towards chocolate in the world, but every time you order one, no matter how much you ask the waiter not to take it, or trust the chef not to make it taste bad at the center, you never get a good chocolate cake. And you can make your own, but its never going to be sold in bakeries.
