Devil’s Food Cake
Feast your eyes on this indulgent creation:
Now, before you get too distracted by the chocolatey goodness, let’s gather our weapons—err, ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need to summon this devilishly delightful treat:
Ingredients:
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
Now that we’re good to go, let’s whip this cake up like a pro! Follow these easy-peasy steps to create a masterpiece:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans, or line them with parchment paper—whatever tickles your fancy!
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. It should smell heavenly; you might just want to dive into the bowl.
- Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until it’s smooth and creamy, like a chocolate cloud!
- Carefully stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but that’s exactly what you want. Just think of it as the elixir of life!
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. You know the drill!
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then flip them onto wire racks to cool completely. Patience, my friend—the best things come to those who wait!
- Once cooled, frost your cakes with your favorite chocolate frosting, stack them high, and maybe even add some extra sprinkles or cherries on top for a show-stopping finish!
And there you have it—your very own Devil’s Food Cake, perfect for sharing (or not—no judgment here!). Cut a slice, grab a fork, and revel in the deliciousness because you just created a piece of cake magic. Enjoy!
