I wanted something different to bake, so instead of the traditional whoopie pie (chocolate cake and white filling), I opted for yellow cake and chocolate frosting.   And these are made with a cake mix.  You can use any flavor!

  • Whoppie pie ingredients list
  • 1 cake mix
  • 3.4 Oz instant pudding mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 2/3 cup water

Directions – preheat oven to 350 degrees.   Spray a whoopie pie pan with baking spray, or line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Set aside.  In a bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil and water.   Scoop out 2 tbs batter into prepared whoopie pie pans or parchment covered cookie sheet. 

Bake 10 minutes, no longer.  Cool completely.  

For the frosting,  remember to scoop your powdered sugar from the bag into measuring cup so you get the right amount.

  • Chocolate filling list
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
  • 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 4 to 6 tbs heavy cream

Directions – in a bowl, cream butter and cocoa.  Blend in powdered sugar, cream and vanilla.  You may need to add more powdered sugar or cream until you get the right amount.  Then assemble the whoopie pies!

Spread filling on top.

Top with another half.

Black Cocoa Whoopie pies

Uncategorized Leave a comment

For the final nfl regular season weekend, I am providing 2 treats for tomorrow morning at ESPN Radio. These are black cocoa whoopie pies. Black cocoa is used in oreos, so these taste like soft oreos. And I made an oreo like filling too. Woo hoo.

A reminder to scoop your flour/baking cocoa/powdered sugar from your container into your measuring cup so you get the right amount. Also preheat your oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes before baking so it cycles to the right temp.

  • Whoopie pie ingredients
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbs water
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbs cornstarch

Directions – preheat oven to 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, water and vanilla. Blend in dry ingredients. Scoop out 1.5 to 2 tbs dough (I used a cookie scoop) and stagger on prepared cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 11 minutes (no longer so they don’t dry out. Cool completely.

  • Filling mixture list
  • 1/4 cup crisco
  • 1 1/2 to 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tbs water (or more)

Directions – in a bowl, blend ingredients well. Spread between 2 cookies.

Store in covered container. Thanks for stopping by today! I’m hoping my Bills have a playoff spot clinched before we kick off against the Dolphins Sunday night.

Red velvet whoopie pies

Red velvet whoopie pies

This whoopie pie recipe is super easy. I chose red velvet, but you can use any flavor. I opted for a cream cheese filling. And I even used my whoopie pie pans. (One of many baking items I have that really don’t have more than one use, along with my churro maker -looks like a foreman grill used for burgers, and a twinkie pan.

Remember to preheat your oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. You can use a cookie sheet, just line it with a nonstick baking liners or parchment paper. Also, I let the butter and cream cheese soften in a bowl on my countertop while I baked the pies, to speed up the process.

  • Whoopie pie ingredients
  • 1 red velvet cake mix
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

Directions- preheat oven to 350 degrees for 20 minutes before baking. Line a cookie sheet with nonstick baking liners. In a bowl, mix cake mix, eggs and oil. Scoop out 1 1/2 tbs of dough and roll into balls. Stagger on prepared sheet. Bake 8 to 9 minutes (no longer). Cool completely.

  • Filling ingredients
  • 4 tbs butter, softened
  • 4 tbs cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla

Directions – cream butter and cream cheese. Blend in vanilla. Slowly, mix in powdered sugar. Spoon a generous amount between 2 whoopie pies. Store in covered container.
