-------- ------------ --------------------------------
For the Cake:
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cups cocoa powder
1 tablespoon espresso powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 ounces unsalted butter -- room temperature
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
For the Filling:
4 ounces unsalted butter -- room temperature
1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup Marshmallow Fluff
1 teaspoon vanilla

Make the cakes:
Preheat the oven to 350.
Whisk together the flour, cocoa, espresso powder, baking soda, and salt
in a bowl until combined. Stir together buttermilk and vanilla in a
separate bowl.
Beat together softened butter and brown sugar in an electric mixer and
medium-high speed until pale and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add egg,
beating until well combined. Scrape down sides of the bowl. Reduce
speed to low and alternately add flour mixture and buttermilk,
beginning and ending with flour. Scrape down sides occasionally and
mix until just smooth.
Using a cookie scoop (any size you prefer), scoop out mounds of batter
2 inches apart onto 2 large baking sheets that are either buttered or
layered with parchment. Bake in the upper and lower thirds of the
oven, rotating the sheets halfway through, until the tops are puffed
and caked spring back when touched, 11-13 minutes. Transfer to a
cooling rack and allow to cool completely.
Make the filling:
Beat together butter, confectioners sugar, marshmallow and vanilla at
medium speed until smooth, 3 minutes.
Set aside.
Assemble whoopie pies:
Spread filling evenly on flat sides of half the cakes and top with the
remaining cakes! !
Gourmet claims that these are better the second day. So… try not to
eat them all at once.
