This recipe makes a very fine-structured, tender, not-too-sweet cake but I would not call it moist or "Devil's Food."

Nana's Devil's Food Cake is an absolute delight of a cake that I found on the subreddit Old_Recipes. After having great success with u/JustHood's Grandma's Lemon Bars last year (another extremely popular recipe from the same subreddit), I often check in to see what's trending. While cake is cooling make the icing: Combine the milk and flour in a saucepan and cook over low heat until thick, whisking constantly. In a medium bowl, beat butter, shortening, sugar and vanilla until creamy. A similar cake, the red velvet cake, is closely linked to a Devil's food cake, and in some turn of the century cookbooks the two names may have been interchangeable.
