This is the one we've all been waiting for! It's Dorie's cover recipe: Devil's Food White Out Cake. Thanks, Stephanie, for finally choosing it!
For my mini cake (big surprise that I made it in miniature) I made 1/3 of the recipe, using two mini springform pans. Instead of using Dorie's icing (I know.. I cheated!), I used the basic Seven Minute Icing - I wanted to test it out for the cupcakery and I figured it would be a good match for this cake since it's so similar.
All I can really say at this point is WOW. The cake and icing pairing was insanely good. I had no trouble with my cake falling- in fact it had a nice little bump to cut down (and devour) before I iced it. My only real problem with the recipe was the crumb decoration.. mine looks pretty messy. I don't think I'd serve it as a whole cake- probably just in slices. In the end, though.. it's all about taste, and this was a winner!
