I researched a Processing Plant to make Fancy Food, and a type of Processed Item that uses Fancy Food (Chocolate Cakes) but I can't set the Processing Plant to actually make the Chocolate Cakes.
What am I missing? How do I make Fancy Food?

According to the comments and the production chain as laid out in this french wiki post, you're on the right track.
You need 3 different things to produce something in this game:
In your case, you've probably got 1. Food which is the material that the processing plant needs to make the fancy food. and 2. A processing plant requiring processing level 1 or above to make fancy food. What you're missing is something to do with the fancy food as fancy food is yet another material and not a finished product.
So you want to have chocolate cake be the thing to use your fancy food, then you need something to produce chocolate cake, which as per the comments/french wiki page is a factory and Food Level 3. Chocolate cake is a finished product and will go to your exporter for sale.
