Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 cups marshmallow fluff
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
- For frosting: 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour (or line with parchment) two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- Add in the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
- Slowly stir in the boiling water to the mixture; it will be thin. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
- While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling by beating the powdered sugar and butter together until smooth. Add marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, mixing until light and creamy.
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, spread the filling evenly on top of one of the layers, then carefully place the second layer on top.
- For the frosting, mix the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, softened butter, milk, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy.
- Spread the frosting over the top and sides of the assembled cake. Slice, serve, and enjoy your homemade Gob Cake!
