May 19 is Devil's Food Cake Day. This chocolate cake is America's favorite for its airy and moist texture. One of the earliest recipes appeared in the August 10, 1898, edition of the Hagerstown Exponent of Hagerstown, Indiana. Devil’s Food cake is a divine chocolate cake. It differs from a regular chocolate cake by its darker color and tends to be more moist and airy.
Today is a celebration of this delicious dessert, which is considered the counterpart to the classic white angel food cake. Devil's food cake has a unique light and moist texture, which sets it apart from other chocolate cakes. The recipe calls for quite a bit of baking soda, and boiling water instead of milk. Both of these ingredients contribute to the fluffiness of this confection.
You can bake devil's food cake to celebrate holiday. Cover it with rich chocolate frosting and enjoy the cake with your family and friends.
