Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (315g)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter (170g), softened
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar (250g)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240ml), room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon red gel food coloring
  • ½ cup marshmallow fluff (approx. 125g)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter (113g), softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar (240g), sifted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
  2. Sift together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat ¾ cup softened unsalted butter and 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon red gel food coloring until batter is uniformly pink.
  5. With mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with 1 cup buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix gently until just combined.
  6. Drop rounded 2-tablespoon dollops of batter onto prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-14 minutes until tops spring back lightly when touched and edges are set but centers remain soft.
  8. Transfer baked rounds to cooling racks and cool completely before assembling.
  9. For the filling, beat ½ cup softened unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add 2 cups sifted powdered sugar and beat until fluffy.
  10. Mix in ½ cup marshmallow fluff and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Add 1 tablespoon heavy cream if filling is too stiff.
  11. Pair cooled cake rounds by size. Spread or pipe filling onto one half and sandwich with the other half, pressing gently.
  12. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to set the filling.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Do not overmix batter to avoid dense cakes. Rotate pans halfway through baking for even browning. Chill filling if too soft before assembling. For dairy-free or gluten-free adaptations, see recipe notes.
