Devil's Food Cake
Ingredients
- 3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
Directions
- First, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C), and then lightly grease and flour one 9×13 inch pan or two 9 inch round pans.
- Next, in a small pan melt the butter or margarine with the unsweetened chocolate. Set aside to cool slightly.
- And then, cream together the sugar and the eggs until light in color. Add the chocolate mixture to the eggs and temper mixture by beating well (so you don’t end up with scrambled eggs!) Add 1 cup boiled water (still warm) and blend well. Mixture will be very liquid.
- After that, mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this mixture to the chocolate mixture and blend well.
- Next, mix together the vinegar and the milk and stir into the chocolate batter, and then pour into prepared pan(s).
- Lastly, bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cake divides well for filling with mousse, or ganache, or black forest fillings. The best clue to this cake being nearly done is that you will start to smell the aroma of chocolate filling your house!
- Devil’s Food Cake is ready to serve!
ENJOY!
