A Wonderful Looking Devil’s Food Cake With Black Pepper Buttercream

A really wonderful cake is the Devil’s food cake , so I was so pleased that I found this recipe it is a  six-layer  fudgy  light and feathery texture cake that I known you will love , this cake between each layer has that slight twist as there is a black pepper and vanilla buttercream  which works amazingly  well with the  soft and creamy contrast of the  dense fudge frosting on the top and sides.

A really Impressive cake  that will grace any tea party table with style ..
