Check one item off the Someday list – Devil’s Food White-Out Cake. Mmmmmmm!!!
I’ll definitely make this for a special occasion. It’s a bit of work but worth it – I think it’s as good as any store-bought cake. If I got this for dessert in a restaurant I would be happy! Since I didn’t follow the directions to the letter, I’m sure it will be even better next time. Oh and I wasn’t sure the candy thermometer was working right so I had to look up the Cold Water Candy Test. The frosting turned out great – it’s fluffy and not too sweet. Mom, if you’re reading this, I used floss to cut the layers in half and it worked perfectly!!
It looks fantastic!
How did you vary from the recipe?
Well, it calls for finely chopped chocolate or mini chocolate chips but I was lazy and put in whole, normal-sized chips. On one of the cakes, they sunk to the bottom and make a big mucky mess! But I took that part and made it the crumbly outside so it was OK, but I’m sure if the bits had been smaller they would have been evenly distributed. Next time… :)
