This is the recipe for my mom's "devil dog cookies", which are shaped like whoopie pies. But the cake is like a true devil dog.
2 cups ap flour
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
5 T. cocoa
6 T. shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 cup milk
Sift dry ingredients. In separate bowl beat shortening sugar and egg till blended. Add sifted ingredients and milk, mix well. Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheets and bake 10 minutes at 375. Can be piped into devil dog shapes easily. The filling is like the cooked filling from the twinkie recipe. Mix 5 T. flour and 1/2 cup milk, and cook till thick. Cool and beat with 1/2 cup butter, 1/2 cup shortening 1 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla. Beat till thick. If you don't beat a long time it will be gritty, in a good way, but if you want it really creamy beat a good long time. Yummy either way!
Sounds delicious! Molly @ KAFLish, I'm copying this - thank for sharing! PJH
