Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated and brown sugars until creamy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and blend until smooth.
  5. Add the dry mixture to the butter mixture alternately with the buttermilk, combining until just mixed.
  6. Line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Use a spoon or scoop to drop dollops of batter onto the prepared baking sheets.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven until the cakes are set and spring back when lightly touched, about 8-10 minutes.
  3. Allow the cakes to cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
Filling and Assembly
  1. Beat the softened butter, marshmallow creme, confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
  2. Spread filling on the flat side of one cake, top with another to create a sandwich.

Notes

For best results, don't overmix the batter and let the cakes cool before assembling.
