devil's food cake
Dark chocolate cake
Devil's food cake is a rich chocolate layer cake, dark and moist, typically filled and frosted with chocolate icing.
The name contrasts with angel food cake, which is light, white, and airy.
Devil's food gets its deep color and dense texture from cocoa and sometimes coffee: She made a devil's food cake for his birthday.
