    List of Ingredients




    The Ultimate Devil's Food Cake with Cream Filling and Fudgy Frosting

    Three layers high, filled with whipped cream and topped with an ultra rich frosting that is almost like eating fudge! A hedonistically decadent chocolate cake!

    Cake
    1 cup unsalted butter
    2 1/2 cups sugar
    2 cups boiling water
    1 cup cocoa powder
    4 eggs
    1 tablespoon vanilla extract
    2 3/4 cups flour or cake flour
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt

    Filling
    1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
    1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
    2 tablespoons vanilla extract

    Frosting
    4 oz. unsweetened chocolate
    2 oz. bittersweet chocolate
    1 cup unsalted butter
    1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
    3 1/4 cups confectioner's sugar

    Makes a triple layer nine inch cake
    Pre-heat oven to 350°F.Grease and flour 3 - 9 inch cake pans.

    Mix cocoa and boiling water, stir until smooth, set aside to cool.
    Sift dry ingredients together, set aside. In a large bowl beat butter sugar, eggs and vanilla together. Alternately beat in the dry ingredients and the chocolate mixture. Beat just until blended, do not over mix. Pour batter into the three greased pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean. Remove cakes from oven and allow them to set for 3-5 minutes. Remove from pans and cool completely on a wire rack before frosting.

    Prepare filling by beating together cream, confectioner's sugar and vanilla until stiff. Set aside

    Prepare frosting by melting the butter and chocolates together over low heat. Stir in the cream and mix until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and place it in a large bowl filled with ice. Using an electric hand held mixer or a whisk (trust me, the electric mixer will be much easier), beat in the confectioner's sugar until the frosting holds a stiff shape. Chill.

    Before you put the cake together, make sure that everything has completely cooled. Divide the filling in two and spread it between the layers. Frost sides and top with the chocolate icing.
