National Devil Dog Day
On April 27th, enjoy a treat in the name of National Devil Dog Day! With the name and the devilish snack cake, the service members are honoured on the day.
Devil Dogs became a popular single-serving snack in the mid-1920s with a layer of cream filling sandwiched between two layers of devil's food cake.. In 1926, Drake's first bakers began making the cakes.
The legend goes that German soldiers began to call US Marines "devil dogs" for their tenacity during World War I. The story was in full circulation around the country in 1918, when a recruiting poster in the United States headlined the word Teufel Hunden.. Despite the fact that the German word was rare and oddly worded, and its source was uncertain at best, the word stuck, the word retained a firm hold.
The underlying truth holds up. In Europe, the US Marines fought with ferocious courage, as did all the troops. The name was used by writers, poets wrote about the military prowess of the devil dogs, films were made starring the devil dogs, and the tale of the name was either updated or not to be part of history.
They even created a devilish snack cake that we still enjoy today!!
