mmm... Devils Food Cake with 7-Minute Frosting







Hmm... What to say about this cake? Besides the fact that it was delicious in every way, easy to make, and looks delectable? This is my new favorite chocolate cake! My sisters each have their own favorite chocolate cake, and while this didn't beat theirs, they did like this cake. I thought this was a perfect combination of my sister's cake. It was rich, but not as rich/too chocolaty taste of the Hershey's cake. It had the light flavor of the black magic cake (that is my other sister's favorite)but isn't as moist. The black magic cake is very very moist, almost too moist. This one was so light a airy it was perfect!






And the icing! the icing was amazing! It did take a little longer then 7 minutes to make, but it was worth it. And it molded so perfectly on the cake! I was able to create swirls and they stayed! I have to admit, while I was cooking it, it tasted like heated fluff. I also added some shaved chocolate on the top. I got the recipe from a 1920's book, I found in my mom's books. I will definitely be trying more recipes from this book!
