Ingredients
  • Cakes
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup cocoa powder
  • 1¼ teaspoons baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (well-shaken)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • Filling:
  • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1¼ cups confectioners sugar
  • 2 cups marshmallow cream such as Marshmallow Fluff
  • ½ cup International Delight White Chocolate Raspberry Creamer
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
  1. Cakes:
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt, whisking until blended. In a separate bow, stir buttermilk and vanilla together.
  3. In a large bowl or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer, beat butter and brown sugar until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes in a standing mixer or 5 minutes with a handheld. Add egg, beating until mixture is combined. Alternate mixing in flour mixture and buttermilk in batches, beginning and ending with flour, scraping down side of bowl occasionally. Mix on low speed until smooth.
  4. Spoon ¼-cup mounds of batter about 2 inches apart onto 2 greased baking sheets. Bake in the upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking so that pies bake evenly. After 11-13 minutes, once tops are puffy and cake springs back when touched, transfer with a spatula to a cooling rack.
  5. Filling:
  6. Once rack is completely cooled, mix together butter, confectioners sugar, marshmallow, and vanilla in a bowl with electric mixer for about 3 minutes, or until smooth
  7. Pies:
  8. Spread a rounded tablespoon filling on flat sides of half of cakes and top with remaining cakes. Store for up to three days in an airtight container at room temperature separating cakes with sheets of parchment or wax paper.
