Grandma's Devils Food Cake
Grandma's Devils Food Cake
(Image is coming soon! HAHAH! But not REALLY soon!)
Grandma's Devils Food Cake lives up to its decadent name with an incredibly moist, rich chocolate crumb. The unique method of boiling the butter, cocoa and water creates exceptional texture, while buttermilk adds subtle tang that balances the sweetness perfectly. Topped with a poured chocolate frosting that creates a glossy finish, this cake delivers intense chocolate flavor that actually improves after 24 hours. An heirloom recipe worth the wait!
