Chocolate Gobs With Icing Food

GOB CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Mix the flour, 2 cups of the sugar, baking soda, 6 tablespoons of the cocoa, salt, vegetable oil, vinegar, 2 teaspoons vanilla, and the water together. Stir until just combined. Pour batter into on ungreased 13x9 inch baking pan.
• Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 30 to 35 minutes. Let cake cool than ice.

MAINE WHOOPIE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes using the paddle attachment until light. Add egg and vanilla, then beat again, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
• Alternate adding the flour mixture with the buttermilk, beating after each addition and scraping the sides of the bowl, just until combined.
• Use a small to medium cookie scoop to drop batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2-3 inches apart. If you want 8 really large whoopie pies, you should do 16 scoops of batter. For more reasonably sized whoopie pies, do 20 to 24 scoops of batter to make 10-12 whoopie pies.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until just done around the edges and the tops bounce back when lightly touched. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• Combine the shortening and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Beat well using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth. Add marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, then beat again, scraping the sides of the bowl so everything gets evenly combined.
• Pipe a generous amount of frosting onto the flat bottom of one cookie, then top with another cookie to make a whoopie pie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

AUNT ROSIE'S GOB CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10x15 inch pan. Line a second 10x15 inch pan with parchment paper.

• Bake in preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean. Allow to cool.
• To make the filling: In a large bowl, combine 2 cups confectioners' sugar, 1/2 cup milk, shortening, butter, vanilla and flour. Beat on high speed for 5 minutes, or until it achieves the consistency of whipped cream.
• Spread filling over the layer in the greased pan. Loosen the sides of the other layer by running a knife around the edge between the cake and the pan. Flip the cake onto the frosted layer. Remove the pan and parchment paper from the top layer and serve.

• In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, espresso powder, and vanilla until combined. Add the sugar, raise the speed to medium-high, and beat for 2 minutes, until the batter is thick and falls back on itself in a ribbon. Set aside.

Combine the 1/3 cup of flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and fold it into the chocolate mixture with a rubber spatula. In another bowl, combine the walnuts, pecans, peanut butter chips, the remaining 6 ounces of chocolate chips, and the tablespoon of flour and fold it into the chocolate mixture. With 2 soup spoons, drop rounded mounds of batter 1 inch apart onto the prepared sheet pans. Bake for 15 minutes exactly. Cool on the baking sheets.
