mini devil's food cake

It was my brother in laws birthday yesterday and despite the HEAT (we have no ac) I baked him his very own mini cake! I used two 4.5 inches (11.5 cm) cake pans to make the cake. With the rest of the batter I made cupcakes. Eveyone loves this cake and the best thing is that it is sooooo easy to make!
