Provided by Debra Steward

Categories     Desserts     Cakes     Sheet Cake Recipes

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 10

½ cup butter
3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 cup water
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour one 9x13 inch pan or two 9 inch round pans.
  • In a small pan melt the butter or margarine with the unsweetened chocolate. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Cream together the sugar and the eggs until light in color. Add the chocolate mixture to the eggs and temper mixture by beating well (so you don't end up with scrambled eggs!) Add 1 cup boiled water (still warm) and blend well. Mixture will be very liquid.
  • Mix together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add this mixture to the chocolate mixture and blend well.
  • Mix together the vinegar and the milk and stir into the chocolate batter. Pour into prepared pan(s).
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cake divides well for filling with mousse, or ganache, or black forest fillings. The best clue to this cake being nearly done is that you will start to smell the aroma of chocolate filling your house!

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cake will be.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs, one at a time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl before adding them to the wet ingredients: This will help ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will help ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This classic banana devil's food cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, chocolatey crumb and sweet banana flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this recipe a try.
