Answer 1

Devil's food. A cake, muffin, or cookie made with dark chocolate, so called because it is supposedly so rich and delicious that it must be somewhat sinful, although the association is clearly made with humor. Its dark color contrasted with the snowy white of angel-food cake, an earlier confection. The first devil's food recipe appeared in 1900, after which recipes and references became frequent in cookbooks.

Answer 2

They are just as good from a Duncan Hines box in the grocery store. Just look over the ones that say that and try them. A lot of less work and just as good. You bake it yourself. Many of these call for Wesson oil and is very moist. I like the chocolate cakes, and then you can either make your own frosting or get one at the store. I like to make my own. Just get some powdered sugar, mix it with whatever taste you want (fruit or chocolate) and put in there and just mix it up. You can look up the recipe anywhere in a cook book.
