Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 3h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for the pans
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup milk
2 cups plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs, at room temperature
Two 8-ounce packages cream cheese, at room temperature
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, cut into cubes, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 cup cold heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter two 9-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Bring the milk and 1 1/4 cups water to a boil in a small saucepan. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Beat the butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the granulated sugar, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Add the cocoa powder and vanilla and beat at medium speed for 1 minute. Reduce the speed to medium-low and add the eggs, 1 at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition.
  • Reduce the mixer to low and beat in the flour mixture in four additions. Carefully pour the hot milk mixture into the batter. Stir using a rubber spatula until smooth. Evenly divide the batter between the prepared pans and lightly tap the pans on the counter.
  • Bake until the cakes begin to pull away from sides of the pans and the centers spring back when pressed gently, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Invert onto the rack and cool completely. Peel the parchment from the bottoms.
  • Beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt. Gradually increase the mixer speed to medium-high and beat until the frosting is fluffy and smooth, about 3 minutes. With the mixer running on medium-high speed, slowly pour in the heavy cream until it is fully incorporated. Continue beating until the frosting is slightly lighter in color and creamy, about 1 minute more.
  • Put one cake round on a serving plate; spread about one-third of the frosting over the top, going to the edge of the cake. Place the second cake round on top. Frost the top and sides with the remaining frosting.

Made with a cake mix, these cookies are very easy. I saw where Nane had made some with Butter Pecan (Recipe #112895) because her Mom didn't like chocolate. Well, I searched for the Devil's Food cookies because I LOVE chocolate. Couldn't find it on 'Zaar so I am posting it after finding it on Recipe Goldmine. YUM!

DEVIL'S FOOD COOKIES



Devil's Food Cookies image

From Candy Cane Murder written by Joanne Fluke. Make sure you use regular American cocoa only, not Dutch processed or Cocoa Mix. There are 2 Icing recipes to choose from to top the cookies. Mix and match as you like. If you want to get extra fancy the recipe says you can add food coloring to the Icing and use other extracts to flavor them. You can also drizzle the white Icing one direction and the chocolate the other direction. To make drizzling the cookies easier, line them up on waxed paper touching each other. Yeild is a guesstimate as it was not listed.

Time 55m

Yield 4 dozen cookies, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups flour
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup coffee, extra strong
1/2 cup granulated sugar, in a bowl for later
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 -4 tablespoons light cream
1 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 -6 tablespoons light cream

Steps:

  • In a large bowl mix the flour, sugr, cocoa powdrer, salt and baking soda. Once these dry ingredients are combined, add the melted butter and mix thoroughly.
  • Add the beaten egg and mix thoroughly. Add the strong coffee and mix thoroughly.
  • Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Overnight is fine too.
  • When you're ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350.
  • Roll the dough into 1" diameter balls with your hands. This dough may be sticky, so roll only enough for the cookies you plan to bake immediately and return the bowl to the refrigerator. Roll the dough balls in the bowl of sugar and place them on a greased cookie sheet, 12 balls to a standard sheet. Flatten slightly with the heel of your clean hand so they won't roll off on the way to the oven.
  • Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes. Cool on the cookie sheet for 1 minute and then move to wire rack to cool completely. If you leave them on the cookie sheet longer they will stick.
  • White Icing - Mix the powdered sugar with the vanilla and the salt. Add the light cream gradually until the icing is the consistency you want. Put icing into a plastic food storage bag. Twist the top closed and cut off one of the bottom corners to let out the icing. Squeeze it out and drizzle it in fine lines over the cookies.
  • Chocolate Icing - Mix the powdered sugar with the cocoa. Blend it until the resulting mixture is a uniform color. Add the vanilla and the salt. Add the light cream gradually until the icing is the consistency you want. Put icing into a plastic food storage bag. Twist the top closed and cut off one of the bottom corners to let out the icing. Squeeze it out and drizzle it in fine lines over the cookies.
  • Let the icing dry completely and then pack in single layers in a box lined with wax paper. Do not stack them!

DEVIL'S FOOD COOKIES WITH FROSTING



Devil's Food Cookies With Frosting image

I got these at a cookie swap a few years ago and these have been among the favorite cookies in my family ever since! I believe the recipe may have come from Southern Living. I use canned frosting, zapped a few seconds in the microwave to speed up prep time. A favorite chocolate frosting, made with simisweet chocolate bits, can also be used.
