My first ever Devils Food Cake attempt

It was my partners 40th birthday the other day and he asked me to make him a birthday cake. I love baking and the whole trend with Great British Bake Off being back on our televisions. We scoured all of my recipe books and he finally picked a Devils  food cake. 

I was a bit nervous as it is probably the biggest cake i have ever made and I wanted it to be perfect.  I.

found many different versions of the recipe but I ended up using Nigella Lawson's Kitchen version. I even found a You Tube video going though the recipe which also helped me. I have put the link below in case you want to have a go yourself.

I decorated it with chocolate frosting, malteasers, chocolate star, galaxy counter and Milky Way stars.

I was very pleased with the end result and my friend commented that the cake had a nice moist consistency.

It was enjoyable to make and even more fun to decorate. 

I would love to see any cakes you have handmade : )
