Steps:
- Make the cookies: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sift together flour, salt, cocoa powder, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla. Beat until well combined. Slowly add dry ingredients. Mix until combined.
- Using a 1-ounce ice cream scoop, place dough onto a parchment-lined baking pan, 12 per pan. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove to a rack to cool. Repeat with remaining batter.
- Make the vanilla buttercream: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter until smooth and creamy, 2 to 3 minutes. With mixer on low speed, add 3 cups sugar, milk, and vanilla; mix until light and fluffy. If necessary, gradually add remaining cup sugar to reach desired consistency.
- Transfer buttercream to a disposable pastry bag and snip the end. When cookies have cooled completely, pipe 2 tablespoons buttercream onto the flat side of half the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing down slightly so that the filling spreads to the edge of the cookies.

COCONUT CHIFFON CAKE WITH DOUBLE-BERRY FILLING AND VANILLA BUTTERCREAM
Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, salt and 3/4 cup of the granulated sugar in a medium bowl. Whisk together the milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, coconut extract and 7 egg yolks in a large bowl until well combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until well combined and smooth. With an electric mixer, beat the 9 egg whites and the remaining 3/4 cup granulated sugar in another medium bowl until they reach stiff peaks. Fold the egg whites into the batter until combined and the batter is a uniform color.
- Pour the batter into two ungreased 8-inch round pans. Bake until the top springs back when lightly pressed, 25 to 40 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pan and cool on a cooling rack for 1 to 2 hours.
- For the filling: Combine the strawberries, raspberries, granulated sugar and lemon juice in a large saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cook about 10 minutes. Add the cornstarch, whisking constantly to avoid lumps; cook, stirring, until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Cool completely. Transfer to a blender and puree.
- For the buttercream: Cream the butter and shortening with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar until completely incorporated. Stir in the vanilla and 1 tablespoon heavy cream and beat until smooth. Add the remaining tablespoon heavy cream if needed to reach a spreadable consistency.
- To assemble the cake: Once the cakes are cooled, level each with a bread knife or cake leveler. Using a pastry brush, generously apply double-berry filling to the top of one cake. Then combine 1/4 cup filling with 1 1/2 cups buttercream; mix thoroughly and spread this over the first filling layer. Place the second cake, leveled-side down, on top. Frost as desired with the remaining buttercream.

VANILLA CAKE WITH RASPBERRY FILLING & LEMON BUTTERCREAM ICIN
I got this recipe out of a Southern Living cookbook but I only make it for special occasions. Every time I make it I only get one slice (it's supposed to feed 16 but good luck with that). It's not diet friendly but can be altered to your liking. The cake itself is excellent with any type of icing or even by itself. When storing this cake it's best to store it in the fridge just to keep the icing from falling off.

VANILLA BEAN WHOOPIE PIES WITH NUTELLA BUTTERCREAM FILLING
Steps:
- Cookies: Preheat oven to 375 F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt together. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter, shortening and both sugars on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add the eggs and buttermilk and beat until combined (your batter may look curdled - mine definitely did, but it came together when I added the flour). Combine the milk, baking soda, and vinegar in a small measuring cup. With the mixer on low add half of the flour mixture, followed by the milk mixture and then the rest of the flour mixture. Beat just until everything is combined. Add the seeds from the vanilla bean and beat for another minute, until everything is completely combined. Using a small cookie scoop, drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between cookies. Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, for 8-10 minutes, or until they are set and just beginning to brown. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Prepare the filling with the recipe below. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a plain round tip with the Nutella buttercream. Once the cookies are cool, pair them by size. Pipe some of the buttercream on the flat side of one cookie in each pair. Sandwich the whoopie pies together, pressing to nudge the filling to the edges. Filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and Nutella together until combined. Add the vanilla, milk and confectioners' sugar to the mixer bowl and beat on low speed until the powdered sugar is just about incorporated. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until the frosting is smooth.
