- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour,
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder,
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda,
- 1/2 teaspoon salt,
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature,
- 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening,
- 1 cup packed brown sugar,
- 1 egg,
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract,
- 1 cup milk,
- For the filling:
- 1 cup solid vegetable shortening,
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar,
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract,
- 2 cups marshmallow fluff
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, shortening, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract. Gradually add in the dry ingredients alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops are set. Allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat together the shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in the marshmallow fluff until well combined.
Pair the cakes by size. Spread or pipe a generous amount of filling on the flat side of one cake of each pair. Top it with its matching half, pressing down gently to spread the filling to the edges. Repeat with remaining cakes and filling.
