Ingredients

  • 1 box Chocolate Devil’s Food cake mix
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup water
For the filling:
  • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¼ cup vegetable shortening Crisco
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend dry cake mix, eggs, and water together until well blended.
  3. Using a metal cookie scoop, drop batter onto parchment paper, leaving several inches between whoopie pies.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until centers are set. Allow to cool before making sandwiches.
  5. To prepare filling, place milk and flour in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until it thickens. Remove from heat and cool.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter, vegetable shortening, and sugar together until fluffy.
  7. Next, beat in milk/flour mixture. If filling is a bit runny, chill before using.
  8. Make whoopee pies by using two cookies and filling with cream.
  9. If you choose to add sprinkles, place them in a bowl and roll the pies in them before setting.

Notes

  • This filling is not super sweet. It's more cream flavored like you'd expect in a ding-dong or Swiss cake roll.
  • If you prefer a sweeter buttercream filling for your Whoopie Pies,  pipe my sugar cookie frosting between two cookie layers!
  • If your filling is still runny after beating in the milk and flour, place it in the refrigerator to chill for a few minutes before spreading it on the cookies.
  • Use a measuring spoon or scoop to ensure that all the cookies are the same size or as close to the same size as possible.
  • Use colorful sprinkles (like below) to make these chocolate whoopie pies for birthdays or year round celebrations.
