My take on the classic dessert is easy to whip up.
It ranked pretty high on the school lunch trading hierarchy, not that I ever gave it up.
Once I made a devils food cake at home, it blew those Devil Dogs out of the water.

I mixed the cake in one bowl and frosted with a thick, fudgy frosting right in the pan.
it was so easy and everyone loved it.
What Is Devils Food Cake?
Simply Recipes / Mark Beahm
Devil’s food cake is an extra rich, extra chocolatey chocolate cake.
A devils food cake recipe was first published at the turn of the 20th century.
Most chocolate cakes before this time were actually yellow cakes frosted with a thick chocolate paste.

The frosting makes just enough for a naked cake (frosted middle and top).
Tofrost the entire cake, double the frosting.
Thiseasy vanilla buttercreamwould be the closest to the filling in a Devil Dog.

Devils food cake is a predecessor to red velvet cake, socream cheese frostingwouldnt be out of place.
The most decadent option is to skip the frosting and top the cake withganacheinstead.
Take the pan off the heat.

Pour the coffee and butter mixture into a large mixing bowl.
Add the cocoa powder and whisk until completely smooth; the mixture will thicken slightly.
Add the brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract to the cocoa mixture and whisk until fully combined.

Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Use the whisk to gently stir the batter until combined.
The batter will be thick, like hot fudge sauce.

Let the cake cool to room temperature in the pan set on a wire rack.
To prevent a cloud of sugar and cocoa, start on low speed and then increase to medium speed.
It may seem powdery at first, but after a minute or two, it will come together.

Pour in the milk and vanilla extract and beat to combine, about 30 seconds.
Store the cake, covered tightly, for up to 3 days at room temperature or in the fridge.
