Instructions
Cakes
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, nutmeg, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together butter and sugar until pale and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the eggs and mix to combine, scraping the bowl as needed.
- Add in half the flour mixture and mix. Add in the eggnog and mix. Then add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined.
- Portion level cookie scoops of the batter (about 1 tablespoon) into your prepared baking pan, working in batches. You want to leave at least 2-inches between cakes. (I can fit 8 per pan.)
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cakes are a light, golden brown. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Buttercream
- In a large bowl, beat together butter, powdered sugar, rum, vanilla, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Turn half of the cakes upside down. Using a piping bag or a ziptop plastic bag with a corner cut off, pipe a generous amount of frosting onto each upside-down cake. (at least 1 tablespoon)
- Place another cake on top, with the bottoms facing each other, and gently press down until the frosting spreads to the edges. Serve immediately or store in an air-tight container.
Notes
- I like less frosting on our whoopie pies, so I make half a batch of the buttercream. Traditional whoopie pies have LOTS of frosting. This recipe makes enough buttercream to be generous on your cakes.
