Chocolate devil's food cake from The Violet Bakery Cookbook (page 199) by Claire Ptak

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Salted caramel icing; Marshmallow icing

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This recipe should read: fits in TWO 8” cake pans. Not one. Because it doesn’t. And will overflow into your whole oven and cause a smoky, gooey disaster. I’ll be the first to admit that I should have realized that would happen. But.... I was in a rush. So, don’t be me. Pay attention and put it in two pans. The non-ruined part of the cake did taste delicious, so I’d make it again, just in two pans. Sigh.
