Whoopie Pies ~ Baked Sunday Mornings

February 11, 2012 by susanelester 10 Comments

This week’s Baked challenge is for Chocolate Whoopie Pies filled with Swiss Vanilla Filling.  Although these delightful cakes are a staple in the North-East, neither one of us had ever had them before.  The cakes were easy to mix together by hand.  One of the most interesting things for me about our “Baked” experience is all the different frostings, fillings, and sauces we’ve learned to make.

 The Swiss Vanilla Filling looked like marshmallow cream while the egg whites and sugar were being whipped together, but then, as the butter was added, it turned into the lightest, fluffiest buttercream I’ve ever made.

The cake was lighter than I expected and the filling was delicious.  These are quite addictive!

Enjoy!

    These look great. I usually make a banana cake version to use up bananas – I think if I had chocolate ones around they wouldn’t last very long…

    My cakes were very heavy, so I’m glad to hear your cakes were much lighter. That’s what I was hoping for. Your filling looks so fluffy and delicious.

    Nice looking Whoopie Pies! These kinda melt in your mouth and disappear quickly. I had to hide them from myself.
    I agree and was thinking the same thing…all the fillings and frostings have been one of the best parts of this Baked experience. They have all turned out amazingly well. Even if I’m not totally in love with the entire recipe, I love all that dresses them up. Today’s Swiss Buttercream is easier than I anticipated and has a wonderful real butter flavor (it should with all that butter) as compared with other buttery frostings or fillings that often hide the butter flavor. I would call this a real buttercream.

    I love learning to make new things. I often screw up swiss meringue buttercream, but I found this recipe to be very straightforward and easy. Yours look really great. Glad you enjoyed them.

    Susan….your whoopie pies turned out picture perfect! Being from New England, I grew up on these…but not home made! If these were your first whoopie pie….you did a fabulous job! (Love the picture of the egret, too!)

    Your cookies and finished pies look absolutely perfect! I think I overbeat my filling, because it wasn’t particularly fluffy — yours looks much better! Fantastic job!
