Devil’s Food Cake
by:
This rich, deeply flavored cake can be frosted with chocolate frosting, such as buttercream or whipped ganache, to reinforce the chocolate effect, or a contrasting frosting, such as a kirsch-flavored buttercream, white chocolate mousse, white chocolate whipped ganache, or mousseline, to balance the chocolate.

preparation
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Butter and flour one or two 9-inch cake pans. In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
2. Combine the butter, chocolate, and sour cream in a heat-proof bowl and place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until smooth; remove from the heat as soon as the chocolate has melted.
3. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until smooth. Stir the chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Sift the dry ingredients over the chocolate-egg mixture while folding with a rubber spatula.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pans. Bake 1-inch-thick cakes for about 25 minutes or a 2-inch-thick cake for about 40 minutes, or until the cakes spring back to the touch or a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Let the cakes cool for 5 minutes and turn them out onto a cake rack. Frost as suggested above.
