Frozen Devil's Food Whipped Cream Sandwiches
- 1 1/4 cups cake flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder, preferably Dutch-process
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, slightly softened at room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups chilled heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease a half sheet tray and line with parchment or waxed paper.
- Sift all the dry ingredients 3 times to aerate.
- Cream the butter until smooth and fluffy in a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment; add 1 1/2 cups of the sugar and mix.
- Add the eggs, 1 at a time, mixing after each addition.
- Beat until fluffy and light.
- With the mixer running at low speed, add 1/3 of the dry ingredients and mix.
- Add 1/2 of the buttermilk and mix.
- Repeat with remaining dry ingredients and buttermilk and mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out into the corners.
- Bake until set in the center and springy, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Let cool in the pan on a wire rack.
- Lay a piece of parchment or waxed paper on a work surface.
- Turn the cake out onto the work surface and peel off the paper that the cake baked in.
- Flip the cake over again so the shiny top side is facing up.
- Cut the cake in half crosswise so you have 2 rectangles of cake.
- Whip the cream with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and vanilla until stiff.
- Spread an even layer over 1 piece of the cake, then flip the other piece over (so that the shiny side faces down, and will touch the cream) and place on top of the cream.
- Freeze for 1 hour.
- Cut into bar-shaped sandwiches, (about 2 by 3 inches each).
- Wrap individually in parchment or waxed paper, as you would wrap a present, and serve frozen.
- The recipe can be made several weeks in advance and kept frozen, in a plastic container or individually wrapped, until ready to serve.
