It is always irresistible to enjoy a moist chocolate cake. Traditionally devil food cupcake has more chocolate than a regular chocolate cake, making it darker. The cake is usually paired with a rich chocolate frosting. Well, I should not call cupcakes here as 100% Devil Food as I do not have rich chocolate frosting as its pairing.
In fact, Devil's food cake is more airy and moist than other normal chocolate cakes, and often uses cocoa as opposed to chocolate for the flavor as well as coffee. The lack of melted chocolate is typically what distinguishes a Devil's food cake from a chocolate cake, though some recipes call for all, resulting in an even richer chocolate flavor. The use of hot, or boiling water as the cake's main liquid, rather than milk, is also a common difference.
