Dolly Madison� Zingers� (Devil's Food)Former U.S. President James Madison's wife did notcreate this baking company, despite the fact that hername is on every carrot cake, crumb cake, and Zinger thatcomes off the production line. It was instead companyfounder Roy Nafziger's brainstorm to use the former firstlady's name, since she was notorious for throwing hugeshindigs featuring a fine selection of desserts and bakedgoods. Nafziger said his company would create cakes "fineenough to serve at the White House." While I don't expectyou'll be treated to a tray of Zingers on your next stayin the Lincoln Bedroom, I will agree that these littlesnack cakes are a tasty way to appease a sweet tooth.You can craft a version at home by making little cakepans out of aluminum foil that is wrapped around anempty prescription pill bottle. The cake batter is easy,since you just use any instant devil's food cake mix.I like Duncan Hines, but you can use whatever you want.As for the frosting, it may not come out as dark brownas the original since the recipe here doesn't include brownfood coloring (caramel coloring). But the taste will beright on. And I think President Clinton would agree that aslong as the sweet little treats taste good, appearance is secondary.CakeDuncan Hines devil's food cake mix1 1/3 cups water1/2 cup oil3 large eggsFilling2 teaspoons hot water1/4 teaspoon salt2 cups marshmallow creme (one 7-ounce jar)1/2 cup shortening1/3 cup powdered sugar1/2 teaspoon vanillaFrosting1 cup powdered sugar1/4 cup Hershey's chocolate syrup2 tablespoons shortening1/2 teaspoon vanilladash saltTear off a bunch of foil pieces about this size. These will be yourmini cake pans after folding two times and wrapping around a pillbottle.Empty prescription medicine bottles are actually good for something.Use a toothpick or skewer to dig three caverns in the cakes where thefilling will live. Later you will cleverly hide these holes withfrosting.1. Prepare the cake batter following the directions on the box.If you use Duncan Hines brand, you will need 1 1/3 cups of water,1/2 cup of oil, and three eggs. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.2. To prepare the cake pans that will make cakes the size of Zingers,tear off 20 pieces of aluminum foil that are each about 8 incheswide. Fold the foil in half and then in half once more so that youhave a rectangular piece of foil. Wrap this piece of foil around asmall prescription medicine bottle. Tuck in the ends and take thebottle out, leaving the foil open at the top. This will form a littlepan. Flatten the bottom so that the mini pan stands up straight.Place this into a baking pan and repeat with the remaining piecesof foil. When you have arranged all of the foil pans in a bakingpan, spray the inside of all the pans with non-stick cooking spray.Fill each little pan about halfway with cake batter. Bake cakesfor 15 to 17 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the center comesout clean. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to coolcompletely.3. To make the filling, combine the hot water with the salt in asmall bowl and stir until the salt is dissolved. Let this mixturecool.4. Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, andvanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on highspeed until fluffy. Add the salt mixture to the bowl and mix.5. To make the chocolate frosting, combine all the frostingingredients in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixeruntil smooth.6. To assemble your snack cakes first poke three holes with atoothpick or skewer in the top of a cake and swirl around insidethe holes making little caverns for your filling.7. Use a pastry bag with a small tip to squeeze some filling intoeach hole. Careful not to overfill, or your cake will burst open.Sure, it's exciting, but this mess won't make for a good clone.8. Once the cake is filled, use a butter knife to spread frostingon top of the cake over the holes. Drag a fork lengthwise overthe frosting making grooves just like the real thing.Makes 20 snack cakes.
