If you Love Chocolate... this is Your Day !
I love a thick rich Chocolaty Devil’s Food Cake. This type of cake was called Devil’s Food Cake because of the deep rich color of the cake.
But according to Baking Illustrated, there's more:
a devil's food cake has to be a moist cake with an almost silky and velvety texture that has a powerful chocolate flavor. Because the best devil's food cake is made with both cocoa powder and melted chocolate, the amount of chocolate is the predominant flavor.

It’s a work of Science and Magik ....
Rich in flavor and moist in texture, devil’s food cake is a favorite for chocolate-lovers. They get their chance to celebrate their love for the dessert on National Devil’s Food Cake Day, held on May 19. With devil’s food cake, you get all the taste, and all the chocolate.
Devil’s food cake is not your ordinary chocolate cake. It’s a unique mix of ingredients that brings out the chocolate. Recipes often call for boiling water, instead of milk, and some even add coffee to bring out the chocolate flavor! Mixing science with desserts, the cake gets its darker color from its higher pH levels due to the added baking soda. The cake uses cocoa instead of chocolate squares, making it even fluffier! Some say the cake gets its name to distinctly contrast from the Angel’s food cake, which is much lighter in comparison. As more and more types of cakes have been created over the years, “devil’s food cake” is often used as a catch all name for a super-choclatety cake that doesn’t have nuts.
