Instructions
- 1
Heat your oven to 350°F. Line your sheet pans with parchment paper.
- 2
Whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
- 3
In another bowl, whisk the sugar, oil, egg, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth.
- 4
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Stir just until combined.
- 5
Drop rounded scoops of batter onto the sheet pans, leaving plenty of space between each.
- 6
Bake for 10-12 minutes until set. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- 7
Beat the butter, marshmallow fluff, and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
- 8
Spread filling onto the flat side of one cake. Press a second cake on top like a sandwich.
- 9
Repeat with the rest of the cakes. Serve and enjoy.
Chef's tips
Use a cookie scoop to make evenly sized cakes that match up easily. Let the cakes cool completely before filling so the sweet cream does not melt.
Storage
Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or refrigerate up to a week.
Reheating
Best served at room temperature; no reheating necessary.
Common mistakes to avoid
- •Baking the cakes too long, which makes them dry instead of soft
- •Adding filling while the cakes are warm, which causes it to melt and slide off
