Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit, ensuring it reaches the perfect temperature to bake this chocolate delight to perfection.

2. Prepare Baking Dish:
   Grease a 9-inch round baking dish generously with butter and dust it with flour. This crucial step ensures that your cake releases effortlessly from the dish once baked, guaranteeing a flawless presentation.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar:
   In a mixing bowl, beat together the butter and caster sugar until they form a creamy and smooth mixture, creating the perfect base for your cake.

4. Incorporate Eggs:
   Add the eggs one at a time to the creamy mixture, beating well after each addition until light and fluffy. This step ensures a light and airy texture in your finished cake.

5. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and instant coffee powder, ensuring they are evenly combined to impart rich flavor throughout the cake.

6. Prepare Milk Mixture:
   Mix the red food coloring into the skim milk until well combined, infusing it with a vibrant hue that adds to the visual appeal of your cake.

7. Combine Ingredients:
   In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients with the milk mixture, stirring until all ingredients are fully incorporated and a smooth batter forms, teasing your senses with the promise of chocolatey goodness.

8. Bake to Perfection:
   Pour the prepared batter into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform baking. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your cake is perfectly baked and ready to be enjoyed.

9. Cool and Unmold:
   Once baked, carefully remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the baking dish for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely, preserving its delicate crumb and preventing it from becoming too dense.

10. Prepare Frosting:
    For the decadent finishing touch, prepare the chocolate frosting by melting the dark chocolate and unsalted butter together in a heat-proof bowl set over hot water, stirring until smooth and glossy, creating a luscious topping that will elevate your cake to new heights of indulgence.

11. Apply Frosting:
    Once the cake has cooled sufficiently, spread the prepared chocolate frosting generously over the top, allowing it to cascade down the sides in a tantalizing display of chocolatey goodness. Allow the frosting to set at room temperature, enhancing the allure of your Devil’s Chocolate Food Cake.

12. Serve and Enjoy:
    Slice into this divine creation and savor each rich and velvety bite, relishing in the heavenly combination of moist chocolate cake and indulgent chocolate frosting. Whether enjoyed alone or shared with loved ones, this Devil’s Chocolate Food Cake is sure to delight all who partake in its sinful goodness.
