PATTY ANN'S DEVILS FOOD CAKE

Cake

 

 

Preheat oven to 350°. Prepare three round or square pans by greasing bottoms and inserting a waxed paper lining in bottoms. Either spray or grease and flour the sides of the pans. Whisk boiling water into cocoa until smooth, add and whisk in milk and vanilla. In a large bowl, beat together butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. In another bowl, sift flour, baking soda and salt. Add to egg mixture in batches, alternating with cocoa mixture and mixing well after each addition. Divide among the three pans. Place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until cake pulls away from pan edges. Move position of pans once during baking. Cool in pans 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool.

Creamy Butter Frosting

 

Beat butter until creamy, 4-5 minutes. Add 2 cups confectionery sugar, and beat on medium to mix. Add remaining sugar and blend. Add vanilla, lemon juice, milk and beat another 3-4 minutes. Should be very creamy.

Note: You can add extra milk and cocoa to make a chocolate frosting. Enjoy!

Note: Rick loved to toast slices of this cake. Rick and Jason fought over licking the bowl. Jason’s last Christmas, I was baking several of these. I told Rick that he and his brother were not to touch them. Later, I discovered one of my cakes with a huge hunk gone. Rick jumped up, said, “I told him not to, Mom!" Jason's response: “Mom won’t get mad. She loves me.” He was right.

We needn't let go of the people we love, when the time comes for them to depart; if we know the sweet secret of giving each one, new lifetime to live in the heart.
