Zinger Filling and chocolate frosting

[Guest guest]

This is taken from www.topsecretrecipes.com and was

developed by Todd Wilbur. He has a recipe for Devil's

Food Zingers, which of course we can't make his cake

recipe, but here's his clone recipes for the filling

and frosting, which are GFCF when you use GFCF

ingredients.

Filling

2 teaspoons hot water

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups marshmallow creme (one 7-ounce jar)

1/2 cup shortening

1/3 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Frosting

1 cup powdered sugar

1/4 cup Hershey's chocolate syrup

2 tablespoons shortening

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

dash salt

3. To make the filling, combine the hot water with the

salt in a small bowl and stir until the salt is

dissolved. Let this mixture cool.

4. Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered

sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with

an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Add the

salt mixture to the bowl and mix.

5. To make the chocolate frosting, combine all the

frosting ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well

with an electric mixer until smooth.
