My favorite kind of squidgy chocolate cake has got to be a devil's food cake — with a dense, moist crumb and masses of intense chocolate flavor in every bite! From Hogwarts to Hedwig, these cakes have got virtually everything in the Harry Potter universe covered. It's pretty difficult to believe that these were baked without the use of magic.
