Devil's Food Cake made with love for Mr. and Mrs. Paul (one of our best friend's parents), Jan. 27, 2010.
Katie brought the America's Test Kitchen cookbook over to the Brigade meeting, and boy were we excited. This book has page after page of mouth-watering recipes, as well as an entire section devoted to layer cakes! Mm mm mmy favorite!
We decided to try the devil's food cake and top it with butter cream frosting. We added almond extract to the frosting, and it proved to pack a flavorful pizzazz.
Mariel's about to take off for a couple of fencing competitions, so we tried to savor this bake session as we don't know when our next will be. (Good luck, Mariel!)
Now, a bit about the recipients of this cake ... Mr. and Mrs. Paul's daughter, Kelley, has been working in Germany for more than a year, and we miss her dearly. That's totally an understatement. We're counting the days until her return. Her parents have been empty nesters as her sister moved over to Germany to work, too, and her brother moved away for work also. Kelley has some of the nicest parents in the world. All nice people deserve a cake!
