DESCRIPTION

The cake is a classic French Biscuit au Beurre made with "Dutched" cocoa powder, drizzling in the clarified butter at the end for a unique delicious flavor. The filling used in the commercial version of this is probably made with whipped shortening rather than butter but I just can't bring myself to write a recipe with that ingredient as a filling. I did eat these for a year straight when I was about 12 and hung out at my friend Jenny Marshall's house. Her mom bought them but mine didn't. So I had to get my fill while playing at her house.
