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.

CHOCOLATE WHOOPIE PIES WITH VANILLA FROSTING



Chocolate Whoopie Pies with Vanilla Frosting image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large egg
1/2 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup vegetable shortening (recommended: Crisco)
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, on low speed, thoroughly combine all of the dry ingredients. Add the butter and the egg. Mix until the dough comes together in a nice ball. Form the dough into 24 balls.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Put the balls on cookie sheets that have either been lined with parchment paper or slightly (very slightly) greased with butter. Gently press the balls with your thumb, ever so slightly, squishing the ball. If you are not using parchment paper, lift the balls from the sheet and then put them back, this will avoid sticking later on.
  • Bake for 8 to10 minutes, checking the cookies periodically. You can rotate the cookie sheets after 4 minutes to ensure that the cookies are baking evenly. Remove the pans from the oven and put the cookies on a cooling rack or a clean surface. Allow them to cool at least 15 minutes.
  • Filling: Put the butter, shortening, and vanilla into a bowl, and mix with an electric mixer on low speed. Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until the filling is light and fluffy.
  • When the cookies are cool, smear a small amount of the filling on 1 side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, creating that famous whoopee-pie look. Refrigerate the cookies for about 20 minutes before serving.
  • To add a touch of elegance to this dessert, try infusing milk with lavender. Add a little milk, 1 tablespoon of honey, and a little crushed lavender to a blender. Blend on high for about 3 minutes. Refrigerate for about 20 minutes, then stir with a spoon and serve!

1 3/4 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1/4 cup light brown muscovado sugar
2 tablespoons dark brown muscovado sugar
1 large egg
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (3 ounces) molasses
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons (3 ounces) buttermilk
3 tablespoons finely diced crystallized ginger
2 large egg whites, at room temperature
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tablespoon cold water
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons pure cane sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
Pinch cream of tartar
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup Lemon Curd, recipe follows, or prepared cold lemon curd
2 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Pinch salt
2 large egg yolks
1 large egg
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon

Steps:

  • For the gingerbread: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper and lightly spray with nonstick baking spray.
  • Whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, ground ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the butter, oil, and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat using the paddle attachment and until light and fluffy. Add the egg and fresh ginger and beat until combined.
  • Combine the molasses and buttermilk in a measuring glass. Add the flour mixture and buttermilk/molasses mixture alternately in 2 batches, starting and ending with the flour, and mix until just combined. Remove the bowl from the stand and fold in the crystallized ginger. Cover and refrigerate the batter for 20 minutes.
  • Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop 6 mounds batter onto a baking sheet, spacing the mounds about 3 inches apart. Bake until the cakes just spring back when touched (should be ever so slightly under-baked because the cakes will continue to bake on the hot baking sheets), about 10 minutes. Remove to a baking rack and let sit on the sheet pan for 5 minutes. Remove from the baking sheets and let cool completely on a baking rack, about 10 minutes.
  • For the filling: Bring a medium pot with 1-inch water and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat so that the water is at a bare simmer.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the egg whites, lemon juice, water, sugar, zest, cream of tartar and salt and whisk until combined and slightly foamy, about 1 minute.
  • Place the bowl over the simmering water and stir with a rubber spatula until it reaches 160 degrees F, about 2 minutes. Remove the bowl from the water and place it on the mixer stand. Using the whisk attachment, beat the mixture at high speed until it forms, stiff peaks and is cool, about 7 minutes. Add the vanilla extract and beat for 10 seconds longer. Remove from the stand and gently fold in the lemon curd then molasses, leaving streaks of curd and molasses in the filling.
  • Place a large dollop of the filling on the center of the flat side of half the cakes. Top with the flat side of the remaining cakes and gently press until the filling spreads to the edge of the cake.
  • Combine lemon juice, sugar and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Whisk together the eggs in a small bowl and temper in the lemon juice. Return mixture to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens and coats the back for a spoon.
  • Remove from heat, whisk in the cold better and strain into a bowl. Stir in the zest, cover and refrigerate until firm and cold, about 2 hours.

Tips:

  • For the perfect whoopie pie, make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking. This will help ensure that the cakes bake evenly and don't overcook.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough and dense.
  • Let the cakes cool completely before filling them. This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cakes soggy.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to fill the whoopie pies.
  • If you're using a different type of frosting, make sure it's thick enough to hold its shape between the cakes.
  • Whoopie pies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • You can also freeze whoopie pies for up to 2 months. To freeze, place the whoopie pies in a single layer in an airtight container. When you're ready to eat them, thaw them overnight in the refrigerator or for a few hours at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Whoopie pies are a classic American treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and fillings. Follow the tips in this article to make perfect whoopie pies every time!
