Devils Food White Out Cake





The perfect chocolate round!

My frosting was perfect at this time.
Stephanie of Confessions of a City Eater chose Devils Food White Out Cake for today's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe. This is such a gorgeous cake and I had high hopes for how this would turn out. I used a combination of ghirardelli dark 80% and milk chocolate from the store. I loved the cake batter and how perfectly chocolate it was! I also thought the frosting turned out great right after I made it but then something happened while trying to frost the cake. My layers were small and the frosting became droopy after several hours. It was still eaten but not the "WOW" cake that I had imagined. It tasted allot like a ding dong with the filling and devils food cake. I think that I prefer butter cream over this seven minute frosting and I should have done something more to dress it up. Thanks Stephanie for choosing this recipe. It was a unique cake.

Looks great, Susy!! I've read that it seems a lot of people thought the frosting was a little fussy. I'll have to give it a try soon!

Sorry you didn't like it. It looks tasty, tho. I liked the frosting, but not too much for the cake. Ah, well!!
