What is Devil’s food cake made of?
Devil’s Food Cake vs. Chocolate Cake – Devil’s food cake is a chocolate cake, but it’s richer, darker, and fluffier than traditional chocolate cake, This is because it’s made with cocoa powder and extra baking soda, whereas a traditional chocolate cake is typically made with heavier ingredients like melted chocolate, butter, cream, and milk that create a denser cake.
- Using cocoa powder lends a rich, decadent chocolate flavor to the Devil’s food cake.
- Some recipes use Dutch-processed cocoa powder for an even richer flavor, or some use both cocoa powder and coffee because the coffee brings out the deep chocolate flavor.
- Devil’s food cake also uses more baking soda than traditional chocolate cakes.
By using more baking soda, the pH level in the cake will be increased, which adds more bubbles. More bubbles mean the cake will be fluffier and airy, and an increased pH level means the cake will have a darker hue. Bottom line: The baking soda gives Devil’s food cake its iconic deep brown, almost red and black, color.

How to tell when Devil’s food cake is done baking?
How to tell when the devil’s food cake is done baking. – The easiest method is to use the toothpick test. Insert a clean toothpick into the middle of the cake, and if it’s still clean when pulled out, then the cake is done. I also like to use the “spring back” method.
