A new and improved post on the recipe for the famous whoopie pie. After spending some time trying to get permission in posting a recipe, the good folks at www.marshmallowfluff.com makers of "Marshmallow Fluff" have given me the ok to post their recipes for whoopie pies along with a few pictures of what it should look like when compleated. They have a few recipes so im posting 3 of them. So as the whoopie pie wars continue, we can all let everyone else fight it out, while we eat our home made whoopie pies. And I say "lets make whoopie", not war. Richard from Amish stories.
Whoopie Pie
1 egg
1/3 c. vegetable oil
1 c. sugar
2 c. unsifted all-purpose flour
1/3 c. unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
3/4 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
Filling (recipe follows)
Heat oven to 350 F. Grease two large cookie sheets and set aside. In a large bowl with mixer at medium speed beat egg and vegetable oil. Gradually beat in sugar and continue beating until pale yellow in color. In another bowl, combine flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt. In a measuring cup combine milk and vanilla. Add flour and milk mixtures alternately to eggs and sugar, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Drop by tablespoons onto cookie sheet. These will spread a lot, so make 6 cakes per sheet at a time. Bake about 5 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched with finger. Remove to wire racks to cool. When cool, use filling and two cakes to make sandwiches. Makes 15.
Filling:
1/2 c. butter or margarine
1 c. confectioners' sugar
1 c. Marshmallow Fluff (about 1/2 of a 7 1/2-oz. jar)
1 tsp. vanilla
In a medium bowl with mixer at medium speed, beat butter and remaining ingredients until light and fluffy.
