#46 Devil's Food Cake
Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting and you have a devilishly smooth chocolate dessert
Ingredients:
8 TBSP or 1 stick butter, with additional for buttering pans
6 TBSP unsweetened cocoa powder
1 TSP baking soda
1 TSP vanilla
2 C sugar
3 large eggs
2 C all purpose flour
1/2 TSP salt
1/2 C buttermilk ( if you don't have buttermilk, you can use milk with one teaspoon vinegar)
Preheat oven to 350F. Butter and flour either 2, 9" cake pans or one 9X13 pan. Beat the 8 TBSP butter on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add sugar, baking soda, vanilla and eggs. Sift flour and salt into small bowl. Add flour mixture and buttermilk, alternating, on low speed. Then add cocoa, blending thoroughly. Put batter in pan(s) and cook for 20-25 mins. If using 2, 9" pans, turn onto baking rack once cooled for about 10 mins. Frost when cooled.
Taste: 5/5 Tasted very similar to a cake brownie, but not quite as dense. Lovely.Chocolate.Decadence.
Brit-rating: GREAT-ed it. "Mmm this is scrummy."
Leftoverability: 5/5 I've never had a cake stay moist even 3 days later.
Possible variations: I made half this recipe (used 2 eggs) and it fit perfectly into a 9X9 pan.
Serve to guests: A great tried-n-true chocolate cake.
