  "story": "Cake donuts hold a flavour the way raised dough does not, and chocolate is the oldest of the cake flavours in an American case. USDA publishes it as its own food — \"Doughnuts, cake-type, chocolate, sugared or glazed\" — separate from the chocolate-coated plain cake donut, which is a plain ring with icing on it and a different set of numbers.",
  "how": "Cocoa into a cake batter, dropped and fried like any cake ring, then glazed while warm.",
  "today": "The two chocolate donuts in a case — cocoa in the batter, or chocolate on the outside — get confused constantly, including by people selling them."
