Time 45m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 15

Reynolds KITCHENS® Parchment Paper with SmartGrid®
2 cups all-purpose flour
⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 stick butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup buttermilk
White crystal sugar
¾ stick unsalted butter, softened
2 cups powdered sugar
1 (7.5 ounce) jar marshmallow cream (such as Marshmallow Fluff®)
2 teaspoons vanilla
Reynolds KITCHENS® Quick Cut™ Plastic Wrap

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In medium bowl, combine flour, cocoa, and baking soda. In large bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat together butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla, and beat to combine. Alternate adding flour mixture and buttermilk in small batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
  • Mix until smooth, occasionally scraping sides of bowl. With a tablespoon, spoon mounds of batter 2 inches apart onto baking sheets and form into football shapes. SmartGrid® lines represent 1 inch squares to help you with precise spacing.
  • Bake 15 minutes or until tops are puffed and cakes spring back when touched. Transfer to a rack and cool completely.
  • In medium bowl, with mixer on high speed, beat together butter, powdered sugar, marshmallow cream, and vanilla until smooth, about 3 minutes. Makes about 1 1/2 cups of filling. Spread a rounded tablespoon of filling on flat sides of half the cakes. Top with other cakes.
  • To decorate your whoopie pies to look like footballs, cut two pieces of Reynolds KITCHENS® Plastic Wrap about 15 inches wide and criss-cross them over each other to form a large X. In the center of the X, scoop all of your remaining filling and then gather the sides to push the filling down into a ball. Very carefully poke a small hole into the bottom of this ball so that you can pipe the football laces onto your whoopie pies. The thickness of your laces will depend on how big of a hole you poke into the plastic wrap.

1 1/2 teaspoons/7ml baking powder
1/2 teaspoon/2ml salt

1 teaspoon/5ml pure vanilla extract
1 cup/250ml milk

Steps:

  • For the chocolate cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a bowl.
  • Beat the sugar, butter and eggs with a mixer for about 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and beat for 30 seconds more. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture, alternating with the milk and beating until smooth.
  • Using an ice cream scoop, drop mounds of the batter (about 1/2 cup for each) onto the lined baking sheet (6 per sheet as they will spread when baking). Bake for 15 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining batter.
  • For the marshmallow filling: Whisk together the sugar, honey, vanilla, egg whites and 2 tablespoons water (30ml) in a large heatproof bowl using a hand mixer. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Beat with the mixer until the mixture is thick, creamy and stands in peaks, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and beat for a minute or so more, then let cool completely. (You can keep the marshmallow filling in the refrigerator until ready to use.)
  • Spread a generous amount of filling on the flat side (bottom) of a chocolate cake. Sandwich with another cake, pressing down gently to spread the filling evenly. Repeat to make 8 whoopie pies. Serve immediately or wrap the whoopie pies individually in plastic wrap (they can be frozen).
