Classic Devil's Food Cake With Vanilla Frosting


BY DIANA RATTRAY, The Spruce

This classic red devil's food cake recipe is similar to red velvet cake. The cake is made with buttermilk and a small amount of red food coloring. It's an easy cake to prepare, and it comes out moist and delicious every time. Use the included vanilla frosting or use a purchased frosting.

The cake may be baked in a 9-by-13-by-2-inch baking pan as well. The rectangular cake might take a few minutes longer to bake.

Vanilla Frosting

  1. In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer on low speed, combine the confectioners' sugar, butter, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla. Increase the mixer to medium speed and beat in 1 tablespoon of milk. Add more milk, as needed, to make a creamy, spreadable frosting.
  2. *To sour milk, put 1 tablespoon of vinegar in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup. Fill it to the 1-cup mark with milk. Let it stand for about 5 minutes.
