That's when the famous old Brooklyn bakery, Ebinger's, renamed their incredible chocolate cake the "Blackout Cake" in honor of the periodic blackout practices during WWII. I grew up in Brooklyn in the 50's, but always knew why they called the cake that.

The lack of blackout protocols in early 1942 helped U-boats find their victims in Operation Drumbeat.

That seems like an awful lot of lights. Didn’t they have blackout requirements there?
