CAKE

1 cup hot water

2 ounces (⅔ cup) unsweetened cocoa

6 ounces (1 cup plus 3 tablespoons) all-purpose flour

¾ teaspoon baking soda

¾ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

1½ cups granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

6 tablespoons vegetable oil

CRÈME FILLING

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

½ teaspoon water

⅛ teaspoon salt

1 7-ounce jar marshmallow crème

½ cup shortening

2 ounces (½ cup) powdered sugar

CHOCOLATE FROSTING

½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted

4 ounces (1 cup) powdered sugar

1 ounce (⅓ cup) unsweetened cocoa

2 tablespoons heavy cream

⅛ teaspoon salt

WHITE ICING

4½ ounces (1½ cups) powdered sugar

2 tablespoons shortening

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon milk

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Step 2: Spray 12 cups of a standard-size muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and add a circle of parchment paper to the bottom of each cup.

Step 3: Make the cakes by pouring the hot water over the cocoa in a medium bowl. Use a whisk to combine until smooth, and then set the cocoa aside to cool.

Step 4: Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt in another medium bowl.

Step 5: Use an electric mixer on medium speed to mix the eggs with the sugar and vanilla in a large bowl for 1 minute. Mix in the oil.

Step 6: Add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix well with an electric mixer on high speed until smooth. Add the cocoa and mix well. Pour ⅓ cup of batter into each cup (fill about three quarters up) and bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until cooked through. Cool.

Step 7: While the cupcakes cool, make the crème filling by combining the vanilla, water, and salt in a small bowl. Stir until most of the salt is dissolved. Mix the marshmallow crème, shortening, and powdered sugar together in a large bowl using an electric mixer on high speed. Add the vanilla/salt solution and mix for 1 minute. Set aside.

Step 8: Make the frosting by combining the melted butter, powdered sugar, cocoa, cream, and salt in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed. Let it sit to cool until it is a medium consistency —not too runny, not too thick—that will stick to the cupcakes when they are dipped into it.

Step 9: Make the white icing by combining all of the ingredients with an electric mixer in a medium bowl for 1 minute.

Step 10: When the cupcakes are cool, load the filling into a piping bag or pastry gun with a medium round tip, and the icing into a piping bag or pastry gun with a small round tip.

Step 11: Slice the top off of each cupcake so that they are flat on top, then use the blunt end of a skewer

or the tip of a chopstick to poke down through the top of each cupcake and swirl it around inside to

make some space for the filling. Pipe some filling into the center of each cupcake.

Step 12: Dip the filled cupcakes upside-down into the chocolate frosting so that just the tops are frosted. Set the cupcakes aside to cool for about 10 minutes, then give each cupcake a second coat. Use a knife to smooth out the frosting if needed. If the frosting becomes too thick, microwave it on high for 15 seconds to loosen it up.

Finally, when the frosting on top of the cupcakes is cool, pipe a line of 7 loops onto the top of each cupcake

1 tablespoon MSG (such as Accent seasoning)

8 cups water

1 whole roaster chicken (4 to 5 pounds), cut into 8 pieces

6 to 12 cups vegetable oil

BREADING

9 ounces (1¾ cups) all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon MSG

2 teaspoons granulated sugar

½ teaspoon ground white pepper

½ teaspoon paprika

½ teaspoon ground savory

¼ teaspoon ground ginger

¼ teaspoon ground marjoram

¼ teaspoon onion powder

⅛ teaspoon garlic powder

⅛ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

DREDGE

4 large eggs

2 cups skim milk

Step 1: To make the brine, dissolve the salt and MSG in the water. Add the chicken pieces and marinate for 3 hours. Remove the chicken from the brine, rinse with water, and blot dry.

Step 2: Heat the oil in a deep fryer to 300 degrees F.

Step 3: Make the breading by combining all of the ingredients in a large bowl.

Step 4: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then stir in the milk.   

Step 5: When the oil is hot, dip each piece of chicken in the egg and milk mixture and then press into the breading. Toss each chicken piece in the breading until well coated. Let the chicken sit for 5 minutes in the breading, gently tossing every minute or two to ensure a good coating. Gently shake off the excess breading and fry 2 to 4 pieces at a time (or whatever your fryer can hold) for 16 to 20 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown. Drain the fried chicken on a rack for at least 5 minutes before serving.

If you want to keep the chicken warm until every piece is cooked so that you can serve it all at once, place the fried pieces on a rack on a baking sheet and keep them in your oven set to 200 degrees F.
