THE ULTIMATE DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE
Not for the faint of heart, our version of devil's food cake is infused with melted chocolate (in addition to the usual cocoa powder) and sour cream to create a richer chocolate flavor and help it stay moist. Get our step-by-step guide here.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans. Line bottoms with parchment rounds; butter parchment. Stir together boiling water, cocoa, and chocolate in a bowl. Let cool 10 minutes. Whisk together flour, baking powder and soda, and salt in another bowl.
- In a mixing bowl, beat butter with sugar on medium-high until fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, scraping down sides of bowl. Beat in vanilla, then chocolate mixture. Reduce speed to low; beat in flour mixture in two additions, alternating with sour cream, until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between prepared pans, smoothing tops with an offset spatula. Bake until a tester inserted in centers comes out with moist crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes.
- Let cakes cool in pans on a wire rack 20 minutes. Turn out onto rack, top-sides up; let cool completely. With a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes so they're level.
- Line the edges of a cake stand or plate with strips of parchment. Place one cake layer on stand, trimmed-side up, and spread 1 1/2 cups buttercream evenly over top. Top with remaining cake layer, trimmed-side down.
- Spread a thin layer of buttercream over top and sides. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes (this ensures a crumb-free finish). Spread remaining frosting evenly over top and sides. Cake can be stored in refrigerator up to 1 day; bring to room temperature before serving.

- Divide batter among pans, smoothing tops. Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of pans halfway through baking, until a tester comes out clean and layers begin to pull away from sides of pans, 20 to 25 minutes total. Cool layers in pans on racks 10 minutes, then invert onto racks, remove wax paper, and cool completely.
- Put 1 cake layer, rounded side up, on a cake plate and spread with about 1 cup buttercream. Top with another cake layer, rounded side up, and spread with another cup buttercream. Top with remaining cake layer and frost top and sides of cake with remaining buttercream.
DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE GANACHE
Half of the ganache is used for the glaze, which should be cool to the touch but pourable. If necessary, warm it over a pan of simmering water.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-by-2-inch round cake pans; line bottoms with parchment paper. Butter parchment; dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess. In a medium bowl, whisk cocoa with hot water until smooth. Whisk in sour cream; let cool. Into a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each; scrape down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. With mixer on low speed, add flour mixture in two parts, alternating with cocoa mixture and beginning and ending with flour; beat until combined.
- Divide batter between prepared pans; smooth with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack to cool 15 minutes. Invert cakes onto rack; peel off parchment. Turn cakes over; let cool completely, topside up. Transfer half of Chocolate Ganache (3 1/2 cups) to clean bowl of an electric mixer; set aside remaining. Let cool completely, stirring frequently, about 40 minutes. Attach bowl to mixer fitted with whisk attachment. Beat on medium-high speed until ganache holds soft peaks, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cake layers to make level. Transfer one of the layers to a cake turntable or platter, and spread top with 1 1/2 cups whipped ganache. Top with remaining layer, cut side down, and spread remaining whipped ganache in a thin layer over entire cake, covering completely. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.
- Transfer cake to a wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet. Pour reserved ganache over top, letting it run down the sides. If necessary, use a large offset spatula to spread from the center toward the edges, so that the cake is evenly and completely covered. Refrigerate until ganache has just begun to set, about 30 minutes. Transfer cake to a serving plate. Serve immediately, or refrigerate, covered with a cake dome, for up to 2 days.

DEVIL'S FOOD CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE MOUSSE BUTTERCREAM
This is a bit of work to make, but the reaction of your guests will be worth it. Three members of my family immediately announced that they too wanted this cake when their birthdays came around. I made the mousse buttercream with a hand mixer and it took FOREVER, so don't make it unless you have a stand mixer.

Steps:
- Cake:.
- In a large bowl, combine the cocoa powder, espresso powder, and chocolate.
- Pour in the boiling water and stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the vanilla and let cool; then stir in the buttermilk.
- In another bowl, using an electric mixer set at medium speed, beat the butter and oil together until light and fluffy.
- Add the sugars and beat until creamy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt onto a sheet of waxed paper.
- Add one-third of the flour mixture and beat at low just until combined.
- Beat in half of the chocolate-buttermilk mixture just until combined.
- Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
- Beat in another one-third of the remaining flour mixture for no more than a few seconds, just until combined.
- Add the remaining chocolate-buttermilk mixture, beating just a few seconds.
- Finally, fold in the remaining one-third of the flour mixture by hand, using a large rubber spatula, just until no streaks of flour remain.
- Divide the batter between two 9-inch round cake pans that have been greased and lined with parchment.
- Bake at 350°F 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Transfer to wire racks and let cool 5-10 minutes.
- Invert the cakes onto the racks and peel the parchment paper from the layers.
- Let cool completely before frosting.
- Halve each cake layer horizontally using a long serrated knife (plain dental floss works for me) for a total of four thin cake layers.
- Place one layer cut-side up on a serving plate and top with 1 cup of the mousse buttercream, spreading it evenly.
- Continue stacking the cake, spreading 1 cup of the buttercream in between each layer and placing the layer cut-side down.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining buttercream.
- Chocolate Mousse Buttercream:.
- Whisk together the eggs, sugar, and cocoa powder in the metal bowl of a stand mixer.
- Fill a large saute pan or skillet with water and bring to a simmer over mediium-high heat.
- Place the mixing bowl in the simmering water and whisk the egg mixture constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is thick, fluffy, and very hot, 3-4 minutes.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the mixture -- it should be anywhere between 120-140°F.
- Remove the bowl from the simmering water and, using the whisk attachment, beat the eggs at medium-high speed until they are tripled in volume and form soft peaks and the bottom of the bowl is completely cool to the touch, about 10 minutes (it took 45 minutes with a hand mixer -- don't try it!).
- Beat in the vanilla and salt.
- While the eggs are mixing, unwrap the individual sticks of butter and rewrap them loosely in plastic wrap.
- Pound the butter 5-6 times with a rolling pin, until it is soft and malleable but still cool.
- With the mixer speed still on med-high, add the butter 2 T at a time, to the egg mixture, beating in each addition until it is incorporated.
- Don't panic if it seems liquidy or looks curdled; it will magically emulsify.
- When the buttercream is smooth and glossy with a subtle brown tint from the cocoa powder, turn off the mixer and carefully fold in the melted chocolate.

- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, combine the sugar, egg yolks, and salt and beat on medium speed to mix. The mixture will be very thick and grainy.
- Put 1 in [2.5 cm] of water in the bottom of a double boiler or a medium saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat. Place the bowl with the yolk mixture over the simmering water and stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until the sugar is completely melted. Feel the mixture between your fingers to check for graininess. Once all the sugar has melted and the mixture is smooth, the syrup is hot enough to be safe to consume (see note).
- Return the bowl to the stand mixer fitted with a clean whisk attachment and beat on medium-high speed until the egg foam is light, fluffy, and glossy and the bowl feel just about room temperature, 6 to 8 minutes (see note for visual cues below). If the egg foam isn't cooled sufficiently, the butter will melt when you add it.
- Once the egg foam is whipped and cooled, turn the mixture speed to medium, add the butter 2 tablespoons at a time, and beat until incorporated. Turn the speed to low, add the vanilla, and mix until incorporated.
