Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
½ cup vegetable shortening
½ cup light brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 teaspoons red food coloring
1 cup buttermilk
4 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
¼ cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
3½ cups powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Make the Whoopies: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, beat together the butter, shortening and both sugars on low speed until just combined. Increase the speed to medium and beat until fluffy and smooth, about 5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and the red food coloring and beat until just blended.
  • Add half of the flour mixture and half of the buttermilk to the batter and beat on low until just incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining flour mixture and remaining ½ cup buttermilk and beat until completely combined.
  • Using a spoon (or a medium cookie scoop, which is what I used), drop a tablespoon of batter onto one of the prepared baking sheets and repeat, spacing them at least 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time for about 10 minutes each, or until the cakes spring back when pressed gently. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cakes cool on the sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a rack to cool completely.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese and butter on medium speed. Add the sugar and beat on low speed until combined. Add the vanilla and increase the speed to medium-high; beat until creamy and smooth, about 4 minutes.
  • Assemble the Whoopie Pies: Spread the filling onto the flat side of one cake using a knife of spoon. Alternatively, you can use a pastry bag with a round tip (I used a #12 Wilton tip) to pipe the filling onto the cake. Top it with another cake, flat-side down. Repeat with the rest of the cakes and filling. Assembled whoopie pies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you need to stack layers, place a piece of wax paper between layers.

Categories     dessert

Time 1h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick cooking spray
One 18.25-ounce box red velvet cake mix
3 eggs, room temperature
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled
1/4 cup milk, room temperature
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup powdered sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for dusting
1/4 teaspoon fine salt

Steps:

  • For the whoopie pies: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-by-18-inch rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the cake mix, eggs, 1 cup water, vegetable oil, vanilla and salt. Beat on low speed for 30 seconds, then on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the bowl with a spatula occasionally. Pour the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool to room temperature. Cut out an equal number of heart shapes with a cookie cutter and set aside while you make the filling.
  • For the filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the cream cheese on medium speed until soft, about 1 minute. Add the chocolate, milk and vanilla, and beat to incorporate. Reduce the speed to low and add the powdered sugar and salt. Once the sugar is incorporated, increase the speed to medium and beat until the filling is fluffy, about another minute.
  • To assemble the whoopie pies, use a small spatula or spoon to gently spread a generous tablespoon of the filling over the surface of one of the hearts. Top with another heart and gently press down to sandwich. Repeat with the remaining hearts. Dust lightly with powdered sugar, and serve.

RED VELVET WHOOPIE PIES



Red Velvet Whoopie Pies image

My sister got this recipe from a woman's magazine. She made it over the holidays and they were yummy, so I'm typing it in for safekeeping.

Provided by Michelle Berteig

Categories     Dessert

Time 55m

Yield 42-60 whoopie pies

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups flour
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 ounce red food coloring
1/4 cup butter, softened
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
7 ounces marshmallow creme

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • To make the whoopie pies, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat butter on medium or high for 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and beat until light and fluffy. Add in egg and vanilla and mix well. Alternately add buttermilk and flour mixture, beating after each addition just until combined. Stir in food coloring.
  • Spoon batter in 1 or 2 inch diameter rounds about 1/2 inch high on prepared baking sheets, allowing 1 inch space between rounds.
  • Bake until tops are set, 7 to 9 minutes for 1 inch cookies or 9 to 11 minutes for 2 inch cookies. Cool completely on baking sheets on rack and then remove cookies from baking sheets.
  • To make the filling, in a medium mixing bowl beat the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Fold in the jar of marshmallow creme.
  • Spread the filling on the flat side of half of the cookies and top with the remaining cookies, flat side down. Store refrigerated in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect red velvet color, use a combination of red food coloring and cocoa powder. For a more intense red, add a drop or two of purple food coloring.
  • Make sure the buttermilk is at room temperature before using it in the batter. This will help the batter to rise evenly.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense whoopie pies.
  • Bake the whoopie pies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the whoopie pies.
  • Let the whoopie pies cool completely before filling them. This will help to prevent the filling from melting.
  • For a creamier filling, use softened cream cheese. Be sure to beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy before adding the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the filling between the whoopie pies.
  • Store the whoopie pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the whoopie pies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Red velvet whoopie pies are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their moist red velvet cake and creamy cream cheese filling, these whoopie pies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these red velvet whoopie pies a try. You won't be disappointed!
