Cake Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1 3/4 cup Sugar granulated
- 3/4 cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Buttermilk or 1 cup milk + 1 tbsp lemon juice/vinegar
- 1/2 cup Yogurt
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 2 Large Eggs
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Water
Chocolate Frosting Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter softened, unsalted
- 3 cup Sugar powdered
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 180 grams Chocolate coarsely chopped (optional, for adding to frosting), semisweet or dark chocolate
Instructions
Prepare the Cake Batter
- Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk and yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Stir in the boiling water; the batter will be thin.
Bake the Cakes
- Pour batter evenly into two greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Chocolate Frosting
- In a large bowl, beat the butter until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and cocoa powder, beating until light and fluffy. Stir in the milk and vanilla.
- If desired, melt the chopped chocolate in a double boiler or microwave and stir into the frosting until smooth.
Assemble the Cake
- Once the cakes are completely cool, frost the top of one layer with a generous amount of frosting.
- Carefully place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting.
- Decorate as desired. Chocolate shavings are a lovely addition!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Devil's Food Cake
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for optimal creaming and emulsification, resulting in a lighter, fluffier cake.
- Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can lead to a tough cake. Mix only until the ingredients are just combined.
- Cool Completely: Allow the cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
- Get Creative with Frosting: Experiment with different frosting variations, such as adding espresso powder, peanut butter, or different types of chocolate for a unique flavor profile.
