Saturday, 19 May is National Devil’s Food Cake Day
One of the earliest recipes appeared in the August 10, 1898 edition of the Hagerstown Exponent.
This day is enjoyed by chocolate cake lovers around the world. Devil’s Food cake is a heavenly chocolate cake and nothing beats a good chocolate cake.
It differs from a regular chocolate cake by its darker color and tends to be more moist and airy. Devil’s Food cake recipes use hot or boiling water as the primary liquid. Cocoa is typically utilised in the batter, as opposed to chocolate, and coffee can be added for a distinctive flavor. A delicious chocolate frosting usually accompanies the cake.
