Old Fashioned Devils Food Cake

Old Fashioned Devils Food Cake


I'm a Fan Too

Description:

It has been a very long time since I made this cake and having just purchased KitchenAid's 90th anniversary stand mixer, I wanted to christen my new appliance. KitchenAid started in 1919 with the stand mixer and the design is the same as it was 90 years ago. The anniversary stand mixer comes in candy apple red (inspired by vintage automobiles) with a glass bowl and it looks stunning in my kitchen! KitchenAid's durability and versatility are reasons why it's been around for 90 years. My Mom had a KitchenAid stand mixer back in the early 1970's (she had the white version) and she passed it on to my younger sister who still uses it today.

To make the buttercream frosting, combine all ingredients except the milk in a large mixer bowl. Beat at low speed until sugar is blended in. Increase to medium speed and gradually add enough milk to making frosting the desired spreading consistency. To assemble, trim any uneven surfaces with a sharp knife. Place one cake on a cake dish and spread some of the frosting on top. Top with the other cake and frost all over.

The Culinary Chase's Note: This is a delicious, moist, dark chocolate cake and to top it off, it's a no-fuss recipe. Enjoy!
