Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 2/3 cups all purpose flour
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
11/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp unsalted butter at room temp
4 Tbsp vegetable shortening

1 Tbsp vanilla
Directions:
Directions:
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a bowl. In the work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, shortening, and brown sugar and low speed until just combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat until fluffy and smooth, about three minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat for another two minutes.

Add half the flour mixture and half the milk to the batter and beat on low until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining flour mixture and 1/2 cup milk and beat on low until completely combined.

Drop about 1 tablespoon of batter spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time for about 10 minutes. Let the cakes cool on the sheet for five minutes before transferring them to a rack.

Beat the fluff and vegetable shortening with a stand mixer with the paddle attachment starting on low and increasing to medium until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, about three minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the confectionery sugar and vanilla. Beat until incorporated. Increase mixer speed to medium and beat until fluffy, about three more minutes.
