Two Brothers' Chocolate Gobs

Recipe courtesy Paula Deen www.foodtv.com

 

Cake:

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

2 eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup boiling water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 cup cocoa

Filling:

5 tablespoons flour

1 cup milk

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

 

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and

shortening until fluffy. Add eggs and continue to

beat. Stir together buttermilk, boiling water,

vanilla, and blend this into the creamed mixture at

low speed.

 

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and

cocoa. Add to mixture 1 cup at a time, blending well

at low speed. Batter will be very thin but do not

worry. Drop by teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 5 minutes. Allow to cool and transfer onto

waxed paper.

 

To make the filling, place flour into saucepan and

slowly add milk, stirring until smooth. Set over

medium heat and cook, stirring until very thick.

Mixture should become as thick as solid vegetable

shortening. Remove from heat and allow to cool

completely. In a medium bowl, cream together sugar,

butter, shortening, and vanilla using a handheld

electric mixer. Add the cooled flour mixture and whip

until fluffy. Spread onto bottom side of cookie and

top with another cookie to make a sandwich. Wrap

individually in plastic wrap and store in

refrigerator.
