Whoopie pies, also known as gob cakes, are a delightful treat that combines two soft, chewy cookies with a creamy filling. The origins of whoopie pies can be traced back to Amish communities in Pennsylvania, where they were traditionally made with simple ingredients like flour, sugar, butter, and molasses. Over time, these charming treats gained popularity and variations emerged, resulting in a diverse range of whoopie pie recipes. From classic chocolate to unique flavors like pumpkin spice or red velvet, there's a whoopie pie out there to satisfy every palate.

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).
WHOOPIE PIES
I have made these delicious treats for years. To me, they taste similar to those little snack cakes of years ago, "Hostess' Susie Q's"......only better! I got this recipe from a PBS cooking show in the early 80's. I'm not really sure of the prep and cooking time it takes to make these because I don't pay close attention to the time when I am cooking. I would say approx. 1-1/2 -2 hours from start to finish. This makes 15 large whoopie pies, but you can make them smaller. These freeze very well.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cream of tarter, and cocoa. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, Crisco, sugar, and vanilla until well blended, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, blending after each addition. Add the flour mixture to the sugar-butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Blend well but don't over mix. The mixture will look like cake batter and if it looks curdled, don't worry about it.
- Use ¼ cup batter for each cookie. Drop the batter onto parchment line cookie sheets......one in each corner and one in the middle. Make them as round as possible. At this point, each cookie will be about 2-1/2 inches in diameter and they should be 3-1/2 to 4 inches apart. Bake for 6 minutes and if necessary, reverse the cookie sheet from front to back so they bake evenly. Continue to bake 10 minutes longer or until top of cake springs back when touched with your fingertip. Don't over bake. Remove the cookie from the sheet with a spatula to parchment paper covered racks to cool. If any of the cookie are irregular shaped, trim them carefully while they are still warm. Repeat with the remaining batter until you have 30 cookies.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling. In a saucepan, mix together the flour and milk until blended. Cook on medium heat and cook and stir constantly until mixture becomes thick. Remove from heat and cool completely. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until slightly softened. Add the vanilla, salt, & powdered sugar. Add the cooled milk mixture to the butter mixture and beat until light and fluffy.
- Arrange the cookie into pairs, flat sides up. Place a generous ¼ cup of filling on 15 of the cookies, using the entire filling. Spread the filling to about ½ inch from the edge....it will be almost ½ inch thick. Top with another cookie, flat side down. Press the cookie together so the filling comes to the edge.
- Serve and eat. Or you can chill them, and then wrap each cookie individually in plastic wrap. They can be stored in the refrigerator, but taste better eaten at room temperature.
- NOTE: To make smaller cookies, drop heaping tablespoons full of batter onto the sheet and then you can get approximately 2 dozen or so.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make the cakes: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and espresso powder, if using.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 1-2 minutes. Add the egg and peppermint extract and beat until smooth and lightened in color, about 1 minute.
- Add about a third of the dry ingredients and mix on medium-low speed until combined, then add half of the milk and mix until incorporated. Continue alternating additions of the dry ingredients and milk, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
- Use a 1½-ounce ice cream scoop to portion out the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing at least 2 inches apart.
- Bake the cakes for 12-14 minutes, until firm to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
- Make the marshmallow filling: Add the butter and marshmallow creme to a large bowl and beat with an electric hand mixer on medium-high speed until fully combined, 2-3 minutes. Sift in the powdered sugar and salt, then beat for another 2-3 minutes, until combined. The mixture should be stiff; if not, add a few more tablespoons of powdered sugar. Transfer the filling to a piping bag or zip-top bag. Place the piping bag in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before assembling the whoopie pies.
- When ready to assemble, cut a 1-inch (2.5 cm)-wide opening from the corner of the piping bag.
- Pipe a thick spiral of the filling (¼-⅓ cup) onto the flat sides of half of the cakes, leaving a ¼-inch (½ cm) border around the edge. Place the remaining cakes on top of the filling, domed sides up, and press down lightly to adhere.
- Add the crushed peppermint candies to a bowl. Roll the sides of each whoopie pie into the peppermint candies to coat. (For a more polished look, use a spoon to tilt the crushed peppermints onto the exposed filling).
- Refrigerate the whoopie pies until ready to serve, then remove from the refrigerator at least 10 minutes prior to serving.
- Enjoy!
Tips
- For a chewier whoopie pie, use bread flour instead of all-purpose flour.
- To make the filling extra fluffy, whip the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy before adding the other ingredients.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a plastic sandwich bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the filling.
- To make the whoopie pies extra special, try adding a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream to the center of each sandwich.
- Whoopie pies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Conclusion
Whoopie pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of flavors and fillings to choose from, there's sure to be a whoopie pie that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack or dessert, give whoopie pies a try!
