The Devil’s Food Cake: A Showstopper
Garten’s devil’s food cake, featured in her 2016 cookbook Cooking for Jeffrey, is especially popular among home cooks. She describes it as a “showstopper,” noting that it takes her two days to make due to the complexity of the cake and buttercream frosting.
“I bake the cakes one day and make the buttercream and assemble the cakes the next so it is not too daunting. I adore the combination of moist chocolate cake and lighter-than-air buttercream.”
