Why does milk go so well with chocolate cake?

Milk helps lubricate the palate.

Why aren’t you sharing your cake with me?

Because it quiets it down a bit. Straight chocolate cake is pretty heady stuff, the milk tempers it.

Cleans the palate so the next bite seems like the very first yummmy bite. I love the coldness of milk with many foods.

I agree with @canidmajor. Chocolate is very sweet and milk kind of cuts the sweetness.

So, I’m the odd man out here. I drink diet Pepsi with my cake.

^^^ Ack! You feral creature you!

Let’s hope your pancreas doesn’t become the odd organ out. ;-o

Because milk goes well with cake, and with chocolate?

I still think milk is gross, but chocolate milk is ok. Must be a similar effect. I have coffee with my chocolate cake.

Mmm, that’s what I had for supper two nights ago. My son baked some rich chocolate cupcakes. I prefer them unfrosted. Milk glass in the freezer first, then filled and back into the freezer for a few more minutes. I had four cupcakes with ice-cold milk. Perfection!

There are some things in this world that I just don’t question.

^^ FTW!

Perfect with pancakes too. Gotta be ice cold tho.
