Mom’s Whoopie Pies Recipe

 

Mom’s Whoopie Pies

It wasn’t until 2009 that I had my first Whoopie Pie.  I was looking through one of my many cookbooks, and I found the recipe for Whoopie Pie.  I made it and couldn’t believe how easy it was, and the only thing I had to buy was the marshmallow crème.  Well, I couldn’t find that recipe, but I have another, this recipe was in AARP The Magazine and it’s from Joanne Weir, so here goes.

Filling:   ¾ cup butter, softened

1 cup confectioners’ sugar, sifted

1 ½ cups prepared marshmallow crème

2 tsp. vanilla

¼ tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 375 F.  With an electric mixer, bear sugar, egg, butter and vanilla until light and creamy.  In another bowl, mix the cocoa, baking soda, salt and flour; then blend with buttermilk into the creamed mixture.

Drop batter by the heaping tablespoon onto greased baking sheets and bake 7 to 9 minutes.  Remove from baking sheets and cool on wire rack.           Makes 30 mini-cakes.

To make filling, mix together all ingredients well.

To assemble, sandwich a heaping tablespoon of cream between two cakes, dividing cream evenly between the 15 whoopie pies.

Cupcake Sandwiches Recipe

Cupcake Sandwiches

I had a party to attend, and I didn’t want to bring a cake, so I made the Cupcake Sandwiches.  The only thing you have to make sure you have: mini cupcake pan (4 pans should be enough), neon colors and marshmallow cream.

Cupcake Sandwiches Recipe

Cupcake Sandwiches

1 box Betty Crocker Super Moist white cake mix

1 ¼ cups water

1/3 cup vegetable oil

3 egg whites

¼ tsp. each liquid food colors: neon pink, neon purple, neon orange, classic blue)

Frosting:   1 ½ cups marshmallow crème

¾ cup butter, softened

1 ¼ cups powdered sugar

Liquid food colors (neon pink, neon purple, neon orange, classic blue)

4 mini cupcake pans

Preheat oven to 350F. (for all pans).  Spray 60 mini muffins cups.  Make cake batter as directed on box.  Grease bottom only.  Divide batter among 5 small bowls, about ¾ cup each.  Make 5 different colors of batter by adding ¼ teaspoon food color to each bowl; blend well.

Fill each muffin cup with 1 level measuring batter, making 12 cupcakes of each color.

Bake 11 to 14 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool 5 minutes; remove from pan.  Cool completely, about 10 minutes.

In large bowl, beat marshmallow crème and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until blended.  Beat in powdered sugar until fluffy.  Divide frosting among 5 small bowls, about 1/3 cup each.  Using the same 5 colors, lightly tint frosting in each bowl to match cupcake colors.

Assemble each sandwich using 2 mini cupcakes.  Cut tops off each cupcake horizontally (save bottoms for another use).  Spread or pipe about 1 tablespoon frosting on cut side of 1 cupcake top.  Form a sandwich by placing cut side of second cupcake top on frosting; press lightly.  Repeat with remaining cupcake tops.  Store loosely covered.    Makes 30 servings
