There are many iterations of devil's food cake. My version combines a light, fluffy cake, layered and frosted (it's an American cake, after all) with a chocolatey fudge. Both parts can be made a day ahead; keep the icing refrigerated, then re-whip to spreading consistency before assembling. Once frosted, this cake keeps well, and is even better the second day.
