Devil’s Food Cake with Chocolate Mascarpone Cream

Devil's Food Cake Giulia DoyleThe October issue of Martha Stewart Living had a great looking Devil’s Food Cake. We didn’t have a birthday coming up, but I kept thinking of it for weeks and decided to make a chocolate cake for company, shortly before Halloween. You need a couple of people to put a dent in such a rich and tall cake, right?

I wanted to make the one from the magazine, but last minute opted for this easy recipe, also from Martha Stewart. It gave me three nice layers, which I then covered in a Chococolate Mascarpone Whip Cream Frosting. Because we were so close to Halloween I also added our coloured Skull sprinkles.

I just needed an excuse to make another layered chocolate cake, and Halloween turned out to be a great reason! Enjoy!
