Number Of Ingredients 14

1 CAKE
2 cups Flour
1/2 cups Cocoa Powder
1 1/2 teaspoons Baking Soda
1/2 cup Shortening [or butter]
1 cup Sugar [granulated]
1 cup Buttermilk [1 cup milk + 1 tablespoon lemon juice or vinegar]
1 Egg [large]
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 FILLING
1 cup Shortening [or butter] softened
2 cups Powdered Sugar
2 cups Marshmallow Fluff [or creme]
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Steps:

  • CAKES
  • 1. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • 2. In a mixing bowl fitted with a paddle, cream together the shortening and sugar.
  • 3. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined.
  • 4. Continue to mix on low speed while alternately adding the buttermilk and flour mixture. Stop to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed.
  • 5. Spoon about ΒΌ-cup of batter roughly 3 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets (an ice cream scoop works well here).
  • 6. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are puffed and a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the cakes comes out clean. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • FILLING
  • 1. Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and using the mixer paddle, beat until smooth.
  • 2. Spread about 2 tablespoons of filling on the bottom side of one cake and top with another cake
  • 3. Wrap individually in cling film until you're ready to eat one.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking.
  • Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough whoopie pies.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly pies.
  • Allow the whoopie pies to cool completely before filling them.
  • For a rich and creamy filling, use a combination of cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar.
  • For a lighter filling, use whipped cream or yogurt.
  • Get creative with your fillings! You can use anything from chocolate ganache to fruit preserves to marshmallow fluff.
