Devil's Food cake

Hello all,


Its been a long time since I've posted d recipe for the dishes that I've already made in the past. High time I posted the recipes....One of them is the "Devil's food cake".. as the name suggests,this is truly sinful!!! Check out the recipe:





Ingredients: 


2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups brown sugar/regular sugar
1/2 cup butter,margarine(softened) or vegetable oil(i prefer vegetable oil...its healthier!)
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 eggs
4 oz unsweetened baking chocolate(i used Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder)
1 1/4 cups water


Directions:


1. Heat the oven to 350°F & grease 2 (8- or 9-inch) round cake pans.( that is,if 1 pan isn't enough...you can also use a cupcake tray)


2. Sift all the dry ingredients(flour,baking soda,salt) together


3. In a bowl,beat eggs until fluffy,add oil,sugar,vanilla,choc powder,water.Mix until there are no lumps in the batter.


4. Pour the batter into the greased pans and bake for 35 mins(for a 9 inch pan) or 35-38 mins (for an 8 inch pan)...or you can check if the cake is done by using a tooth pick....insert the tooth pick at the center of the cake,if it comes out clean,the cake is done..


5. Let the cake cool down for 5-10 mins before removing it from the pan.. let it cool down completely for another 35-40 mins & then it is ready to serve....


P.S: The batter for this cake is a little runny/diluted,it is not as gooey as the normal cake batter...so dont worry...it is supposed to be that way 


If you want cupcakes,just pour the batter into a cupcake tray lined with cupcake liners...fill in the batter to only 2/3rd of each cupcake mold,it'll rise later....& bake it for 30 mins....once again,just check it with a toothpick and remove once the cakes are completely baked ......
