How To Make devil's food cake with fudge frosting
-
1Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
-
2Grease two 8-inch layer cake pans well, then dust generously with cocoa. (This gives the cake layers a rich brown finish).
-
3Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt onto a piece of waxed paper and set it aside.
-
4Cream the butter until it is fluffy, add the sugar and vanilla and continue beating until the batter is silvery and light.
-
5Beat the eggs in one by one, then add the sifted dry ingredients, alternately with the boiling water, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients and beating well after each addition.
-
6Divide the batter equally between the two pans, smoothing the tops.
-
7Bake the layers uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the layers feel spongy to the touch and begin to pull away from the sides of the pans.
-
8Cool the layers upright in their pans on wire racks for 10 minutes, then carefully loosen them around the edges with a spatula and turn them onto wire racks.
-
9Cool them completely.
-
10For the frosting: Cream the butter until it is light, then add the confectioners\' sugar gradually, beating all the while.
-
11Beat in the melted chocolate and vanilla, then add just enough cream to make the frosting a good consistency for spreading.
-
12Sandwich the two cake layers together with frosting, then frost the top and sides of the cake and swirl the frosting into peaks and valleys.
