Ingredients

*~Cake~*

2 cups sugar

1 cup vegetable shortening

2 eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1 cup hot water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

4 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoon baking powder

2 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 cup cocoa

~*Filling*~

5 tablespoons flour

1 cup milk

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup vegetable shortening

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening until fluffy. Add eggs and continue to beat. Stir together buttermilk, water, vanilla, and blend this into the creamed mixture at low speed.

Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and cocoa. Add to mixture 1 cup at a time, blending well at low speed. Batter will be very thin but do not worry. Drop by teaspoons onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake for 5 minutes. Allow to cool and transfer parchment paper with cakes onto cooling racks (just lift the paper out with the cakes still on it – you’ll be able to easily peel the cakes off of the pare to assemble the gobs).

To make the filling, place flour into saucepan and slowly add milk, stirring until smooth. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring until very thick. Mixture should become as thick as solid vegetable shortening. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. In a medium bowl, cream together sugar, butter, shortening, and vanilla using a handheld electric mixer. Add the cooled flour mixture and whip until fluffy.

Spread onto bottom side of cookie and top with another cookie to make a sandwich. Wrap individually in plastic wrap and store in refrigerator.

In PA we call these whoopie pies. I grew up in Amish country and had never heard of them called gobs until I found this site.

I'm also from Central PA and they're known as GOBS in my part of the state. Gobs and Gob Cake--2 favorites in my house and with my family. I just made a batch for my son's friends and they loved them!!
