National Devil's Food Cake Day

Fluffier, moister, darker, and richer than other chocolate cakes, devil's food cake has its day today. Its distinctness comes from how it is prepared. Water is boiled instead of milk, with coffee sometimes being added to enhance the chocolate flavor. Cocoa is used instead of chocolate squares, which gives it its fluffiness. Baking soda is used, which gives it its dark color. As chocolatey as it already is, devil's food cake is usually topped with chocolate frosting. The cake was first made in the United States, making its debut around the turn of the twentieth century. It is a counterpart to white angel food cake, a much lighter cake.
