Cake. What can I say about cake? I'd much rather talk about pie, but I'm not on the pie section this time around. There are so many more options for pie. Pie is so much more fun to make than cake. But this isn't the pie section, it's the cake section. So cake, it is. Previously when I came to the cake section, I made Scripture Cake (a crazy, ugly, adventure that wasn't so bad), and Sour Milk Orange Cake (puzzling, messy, strange, and edible). Let's see how devil's food cake stacks up. This recipe is by Mrs. J.O. Botten who previously showed up with Orange Cookies (unusual texture, but not too bad).
Though I prefer pie to cake, I have certainly made cakes before. This will be the first time I will have made a cake from scratch rather than from a mix. A certain mother of mine alleges that back in high school I would make cake mixes and just eat the batter instead of making the cake. Can I claim plausible deniability?
