Provided by Shiran

Time 42m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 and 3/4 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
2/3 cup (65g) unsweetened cocoa powder
1 and 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick/115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) granulated sugar (or brown sugar)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup (240 ml) buttermilk, room temperature
1/2 cup (1 stick/115g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
2 cups Marshmallow Fluff
1 cup (115 g/4 oz.) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Make the cakes: Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. Line 2 baking pans with parchment paper.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg, and vanilla and mix until combined, then mix in buttermilk. Slowly add dry ingredients, and mix just until combined.
  • Scoop mounds of batter, 1 and 1/2 tablespoons in size (I use this ice cream scoop), onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Make the filling: Place all ingredients in a large bowl and beat with a mixer until creamy and fluffy. If the filling is too stiff, you can add a little heavy cream or milk.
  • Assemble the cookies: Spread filling on the flat side of half the cookies. Sandwich with remaining cookies, pressing down slightly so that the filling spreads to the edge of the cookies.
  • Store in the fridge, well covered, for up to a week. Serve at room temperature.

Categories     Desserts     Cookies     Whoopie Pie Recipes

Time 1h20m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 14

⅔ cup vegetable shortening
2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups milk
3 cups milk
9 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups vegetable shortening
1 ½ cups butter
2 ¼ cups white sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • To make cookies, beat 2/3 cup of vegetable shortening with 2 cups of sugar in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until the mixture is creamy. Beat in eggs and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract until thoroughly combined. Whisk together 4 cups of flour, the cocoa powder, and baking soda until thoroughly mixed, then beat the flour mixture into the vegetable shortening mixture in several additions, alternating with the milk. Beat dough just until smooth.
  • Drop dough by tablespoon onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart, making the cookies as round as possible. Recipe should yield about 48 cookies.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the cookies are set in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning the cookies. Allow cookies to cool for several minutes on baking sheets before removing to finish cooling on racks.
  • To make the filling, pour 3 cups of milk into a large saucepan over low heat, and whisk in 9 tablespoons of flour until smooth. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer, whisking constantly, until as thick and smooth as pudding, about 3 minutes. Place the thickened mixture into the refrigerator to cool, about 30 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat 1 1/2 cup of vegetable shortening with the butter until thoroughly combined, then beat in 2 1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract until the mixture is thoroughly combined. Beat the cooled milk mixture into the butter mixture until smooth and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Choose 2 cookies of the same size, and spread a thick layer of filling on the flat side of a cookie; top with remaining cookie. Repeat with remaining cookies and frosting.

Provided by Betsy Carter

Categories     Desserts

Time 1h20m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
4 ½ cups all purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon espresso powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon baking soda
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups water
1 tablespoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup vegetable oil
16 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
13 oz marshmallow fluff
2 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C). Grease and line 2 10-inch (25 cm) round cake pans with parchment paper.
  • Make the whoopie pie: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, espresso powder, salt, baking soda, and brown sugar, making sure there are no lumps.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the water, vinegar, vanilla and oil to the well. Whisk to combine, working slowly to avoid clumps.
  • Scoop 2½ cups (600 g) of batter into the center of each cake pan. Use an offset spatula or a knife to spread the edges of the batter just to the edges of the pans. Do not level the top of the cake, to help create a domed shape.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Make the filling: In a large bowl, combine the butter and marshmallow fluff and cream with an electric hand mixer for 2-3 minutes, until fully combined. Sift in the powdered sugar, then beat for another 2-3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Transfer the filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Cut a 2-inch (5 cm) wide opening on a corner.
  • Invert a cake onto a serving platter so the domed side is facing down. Pipe a thick spiral of filling onto the cake, leaving a ¼-inch (½ cm) border around the edge, and smooth with an offset spatula. Place the remaining cake on top of the filling, domed side up, and push down slightly to attach.
  • Slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a softer cake, use cake flour instead of all-purpose flour.
  • To make the frosting creamier, beat it for an extra minute or two.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
  • To make the cake ahead of time, bake it and let it cool completely. Then, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. When you're ready to serve, thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours.
  • To make the frosting ahead of time, beat it until it is light and fluffy. Then, transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.

Whoopie pie cake is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is perfect for parties, potlucks, and bake sales. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
