The Devil's in the Cake

I should tell you that I bake for money sometimes. And sometimes, I sell things I've never tried before, but knowing which of my cookbooks churn out amazing desserts because they just do is a big help. I have a few regular clients. One usually needs something for a team meeting every 2 weeks or so. The last request was something chocolate. As odd as this sounds, I'm not a chocolate fiend. I will usually pass up chocolate - unless it's dark chocolate. Then I'm all over it.

I offered up a few suggestions  - chocolate cheesecake, chocolate bundt cake, triple layer devil's food cake... And she opted for the devil's food cake. I turned to my trusty dessert cookbook (the one that NEVER fails me!) and found a great recipe. So I gathered up all the ingredients and hustled to it. Topped it with Rich and Creamy Chocolate Fudge Frosting!

(Sorry for the picture of a picture, but I didn't have time to snap a shot before delivery time)

This cake smelled divine! I've now made it twice and got rave reviews. And I still haven't tried it!
