Devil's Food Cake is a delectable chocolate cake. It differs from a traditional chocolate cake in that it is darker in color and tends to be more moist and airy. The main ingredient in Devil's Food cake recipes is hot or boiling water. Cocoa is often used in the batter, rather than chocolate, and coffee can be added for a unique flavor. The cake is usually served with a delectable chocolate frosting.
