Cooking Time: 10-12 minutesPreperation Time: 15 minutes

Preparation

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. In another bowl, beat together the sugar, egg, vegetable oil (or melted butter), and vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until a thick batter forms.

Baking

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Drop tablespoons of the batter onto a lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out to allow for spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when gently pressed. Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack.

Filling and Assembly

For the filling, beat together confectioners' sugar, vegetable shortening (or softened butter), and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Once the cakes are cooled, spread the filling on the flat side of one cake and sandwich with another, pressing gently to spread the filling to the edges.
