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 ..
