Devil's Food Chocolate Cake

Hello Everyone!

I’m so happy to be sharing this recipe with all of you, This is one of my personal favorites and my go-to chocolate cake recipe. I think once you try out this one you will never bake another chocolate cake. It’s so balanced in flavor, moisty, and delicious! Also, you can top it off with anything you like: cream cheese frosting, meringue, mousse…

This recipe yields about one 8 inch cake. In this case I wanted a small cake so I split this recipe in three 6 inch pans and this was the result. Of course, if you want a bigger cake just multiply the recipe by 2 or 3!
