Devil’s Food Cake is distinctly different from other chocolate cakes. Most notably, it is made with cocoa, instead of chocolate squares used in making regular chocolate cake. This gives it a more intense flavor. Additionally, a few other different ingredients, and a slightly altered way of making it, result in a velvety cake that is moister, darker, richer, and airier than other chocolate cakes.
