Devil's Food Cake Recipe
Food for the devil, on his favorite day of the year.
Ingredients:
3/4 Cup Butter, softened
1 1/2 Cups Sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
2 Eggs
1 3/4 Cups All-Purpose Flour
1/2 Cup Cocoa
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/2 Cup Buttermilk
1/2 Cup Boiling Water
Chocolate Fudge Frosting
1/3 Cup Butter
1/3 Cup Cocoa
2 2/3 Cups Powdered Sugar
4 to 5 Tbsp. Milk
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Directions:
In a mixer, cream the butter with the vanilla and sugar, until it’s light and fluffy. Then add the eggs, making sure to beat well after adding every egg.
Combine the cocoa, flour, salt, and baking soda in a separate bowl, and add to the buttered mixture, then the buttermilk, beating until well blended. Add the boiling water.
Pour the cake batter into 2 greased and floured 9” layer cake pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let them cool for 10 minutes, then remove to the racks.
To make the fudge frosting, melt the butter over low heat, in a small saucepan. Then stir in the cocoa, stirring until smooth.
When it begins to bubble, pour into a small mixing bowl and let it completely cool. Beat in the milk and powder sugar, alternately to spread consistency. Lastly, blend in the vanilla.
Spread the fudge frosting on the top of the bottom layer of the cake. Place the top layer on the frosting, and frost the rest of the cake.
And Enjoy!
