Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated (or brown) sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temp
- 2 cups marshmallow creme (such as Marshmallow Fluff)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (4 oz)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Sift together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt, then set aside.
- Cream the room-temperature unsalted butter and granulated (or brown) sugar in an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined, then blend in the buttermilk.
- Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients and mix just until combined, avoiding overmixing.
- Line two baking pans with parchment paper and scoop mounds of batter (1 1/2 tablespoons each) onto the prepared pans, spacing them 2–3 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the tops spring back when touched.
- Transfer the cake rounds to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, combine the room-temperature unsalted butter, marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, beating until creamy and fluffy.
- If filling is too stiff, mix in a tablespoon of milk or heavy cream until desired consistency is reached.
- Spread marshmallow filling on the flat side of half the cake rounds and top with remaining rounds, pressing gently.
- Assemble the whoopie pies and place in the fridge covered for up to a week.
- Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
Notes
- For extra-fluffy filling, beat for an additional minute.
- These can be stored in the fridge for up to a week.
- Add a little extra filling if desired for indulgence.
