Absolutely amazing! Decided to make from scratch Devils Food Cake rather than buy the box mix and it was a success. My father is fanatical about his cake and our homemade Carmel frosting. He liked the rich, moist, nice texture and great chocolate flavor of the cake. It's a winner and I plan to make it again!

This is an excellent recipe. It's my go-to Devil's Food cake recipe (I've memorized it, as I've done it so many times!. I don't agree with the reviewers who mentioned that the cake is crumbly. It is perfect. Be sure to measure the ingredients well. Sift the cocoa powder before measuring it. Weigh the butter - you need 175 grams (around 6.2 ounces or 1.75 sticks. Also, my cakes bake in 29 minutes.

asmenrit: The frosting is called "ganache" and it can be poured or whipped to a fluffier consistency. No sugar added, just the cream and chocolate. It kind of tastes like a soft, thin chocolate bar... YUM.

The cake tasted very good. However, it was too light and crumbly -- too delicate. I suspect this is because there is too much liquid present -- or the need to add more ingredients to bind it together better.

I made just the cake, not the frosting (not a big fan of frosting in general and it turned out pretty good. Dense and moist and flavorful, just like devil's food cake should be

Excellent cake... I actually used it as a base for a chocolate banana dream cake--- add a small box of instant french-vanilla pudding & a ripe banana... supermoist and delicious... I used whipped cream cheese frosting and then melted some chocolate added a little whipping cream, mixed that up and drizzled over cake... decadent! Be careful when heating up chocolate go slow... it will burn if u aren't extremely careful!! Great cake I am anxious to use it as a base for chocolate rum cake next!!

At the end you might think you made a mistake because it looks very watery but trust me it comes out moist and yummy.
