Devil’s Food Cake

Devil’s Food Cake

A Devil's Food Cake has a deep, dark chocolate color and is distinguished from more traditional chocolate cakes by the use of dark unsweetened baker's chocolate in the recipes of the early 20th century and subsequently with the use of cocoa to provide an even more poignant chocolate experience. Recipes typically also call for slightly more baking powder or baking soda than more traditional chocolate cakes.

Ingredients

Cake

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 3/4 cups cocoa powder unsweetened
  • 2 cups white granulated sugar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup coffee hot
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 egg large
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Frosting

  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 5 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Add oil, coffee and milk and mix at medium speed for 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat 2 more minutes. Expect batter to be thin.
  • Pour into a 9" x 13" greased and floured pan or 2- 9" round pans. Bake 9 x 13 pan for about 45 minutes or 9" pans for about 30 minutes. Cool in pans for about 15 minutes and then cool completely on racks.
  • While cake is cooling make the icing: Combine the milk and flour in a saucepan and cook over low heat until thick, whisking constantly. Cover and refrigerate until chilled.
  • In a medium bowl, beat butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla until creamy. Add chilled milk and flour mixture and beat for 10 minutes. Frost cooled cake and enjoy! The frosting sounds intimidating, but it is worth it! By the way, for some reason, we prefer this cake chilled, right out of the refrigerator. The rich chocolate and cool frosting just seem to taste best this way.
