Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 12-cup ladyfinger or canoe-shaped pans thoroughly. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. (7 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pans, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the snack cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (20-25 minutes)

06

Step

Let the snack cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto wire racks to cool completely. (10 minutes)

07

Step

In a small bowl, dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of salt in the hot water; set aside. In a separate bowl, combine the marshmallow creme, vegetable shortening, confectioners' sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy. (8 minutes)

08

Step

Gradually beat the salt solution into the filling mixture until well combined. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Once the snack cakes are completely cool, use a piping bag or a small spoon to fill each cake with the prepared marshmallow creme filling. (15 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use browned butter in the cake batter.
If you don't have ladyfinger pans, you can use a muffin tin, but reduce the baking time accordingly.
The filling can be flavored with a drop of almond extract or a pinch of cinnamon for a unique twist.
Store the finished snack cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

    The filling was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the amount of confectioners' sugar slightly.
