Devil's Food Cake


"Another chocolate cake recipe, Jenna?" you may ask. The answer is yes. I have yet to find the perfect chocolate cake recipe and I will continue searching, tweaking, and taste testing!

This one is a Devil's Food cake, adapted from a Mr. James Crabb, on allrecipes.com



Moist Devil's Food Cake

1 1/2 cups water
2 cups sugar
3/4 cups butter
2 eggs
vanilla
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup cocoa
1/2 tsp salt

Boil the water. Add the sugar. Stir until sugar is dissolved and cook for a moment longer.
Whip the butter. Slowly pour sugar water mixture into butter while beating. Beat until smooth.
Add vanilla and lightly beaten eggs into the sugar/butter mixture.

Sift in the remaining dry ingredients. Constantly scrape down the sides and beat until smooth and all the flour is incorporated.

Bake at 350 until toothpick comes out clean (30-45 minutes depending on pan)

Enjoy.

This cake is extremely creamy, moist, and wonderfully chocolate. It's not too dense or too chocolately.


Hope you have a great day! I know I will!
