For an even richer flavor, consider using salted butter in the syrup. Be careful when adding the baking soda, as the mixture will foam up rapidly. Use a large saucepan to prevent overflow. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare devil's food cake batter according to package directions and bake in a deep cake pan. (Bake time: As directed on package)
02
StepApproximately 5 minutes before the cake is finished baking, melt the butter in a large, high-sided saucepan over medium heat. (Time: ~2 minutes)
03
StepStir in the evaporated milk and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, watching carefully as it may foam up. (Time: ~3 minutes)
04
StepAdd the light corn syrup and granulated sugar. Stir continuously until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture returns to a boil. (Time: ~3 minutes)
05
StepRemove the saucepan from the heat and immediately stir in the baking soda. The mixture will foam vigorously. (Time: ~1 minute)
06
StepContinue stirring until the foaming subsides and the baking soda is fully incorporated. (Time: ~1 minute)
07
StepRemove the baked cake from the oven and, while still hot, poke holes evenly across the surface using a butter knife or the handle of a wooden spoon.
08
StepSlowly and evenly pour the warm syrup over the hot cake, allowing it to soak into the holes. (Time: ~2 minutes)
09
StepLet the cake cool completely in the pan before cutting and serving. The syrup will continue to absorb as it cools.
