Here is the cut and paste from my original post. This is our favorite chocolate birthday cake. If you recognize it, it is because it is really the deluxe devil's food cake on the back of the Softasilk flour box! Do NOT let that deter you! It is sinfully rich and feather light.

2 cups sugar
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. almond extract
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups cake flour
1 cup black baking cocoa
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/4 cups buttermilk

Heat oven to 350*. Grease and flour 3 round pans, 9x1 ½ inches.

Beat sugar, butter, vanilla and almond extract in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time.

Mix cake flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. Beat into sugar mixture alternately with buttermilk with on medium speed. Beat 1 minute longer pour into pans.

Bake 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.

Spread the word
