MAINE WHOOPIE PIES



Maine Whoopie Pies image

Soft, chocolate, and cake-like on the outside with fluffy sweet marshmallow frosting in the middle, these Whoopie Pies (also known as "gobs" in some places) are completely irresistible! Legend has it that kids would shout "Whoopie!" when there was leftover batter to make these, which was justifiable since they are such a delicious, fun, and unique dessert!

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups all-purpose flour
6 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup salted butter
1 cup light brown sugar
1 egg (room temperature)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk (room temperature)
1 cup shortening
2 cups powdered sugar
2 7-ounce jars marshmallow fluff
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt until combined.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter and brown sugar for 2 minutes using the paddle attachment until light. Add egg and vanilla, then beat again, scraping the bottom and sides of the bowl.
  • Alternate adding the flour mixture with the buttermilk, beating after each addition and scraping the sides of the bowl, just until combined.
  • Use a small to medium cookie scoop to drop batter onto the parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them 2-3 inches apart. If you want 8 really large whoopie pies, you should do 16 scoops of batter. For more reasonably sized whoopie pies, do 20 to 24 scoops of batter to make 10-12 whoopie pies.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until just done around the edges and the tops bounce back when lightly touched. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Combine the shortening and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Beat well using a hand mixer or stand mixer until smooth. Add marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract, then beat again, scraping the sides of the bowl so everything gets evenly combined.
  • Pipe a generous amount of frosting onto the flat bottom of one cookie, then top with another cookie to make a whoopie pie. Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling.

CHOCOLATE GOBS WITH ICING



Chocolate Gobs with Icing image

Gobs are a traditional favorite around here, but it seems that many people out of the area have never even heard of them! Also known as "Whoopie pies" or "Moon pies"...whatever you call them, they are FANTASTIC!! Kids love them. Add food coloring to the icing depending on the occasion. (Red for V-day, green for St. Patty's, etc.) They also freeze well.

THE ORIGINAL WHOOPIE PIE (GOB CAKE)



The Original Whoopie Pie (Gob Cake) image

If you're from Pennsylvania, you will definitely know what a Whoopie Pie is! Others refer to them as "Gob Cakes." No matter what ya call it, if you love chocolate,you'll love this treat! Every now and again, I'll walk into the grocery store and see whoopie pies for sale, I may grab some here and there, but they never taste like...

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 2h5m

Number Of Ingredients 20

TO MAKE THE ICING
5 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 c milk
1/2 c crisco
1/2 c butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c powdered sugar
CAKE
2 c sugar
1/2 c crisco
2 eggs
1 c sour milk
1 c boiling water
1/2 tsp salt
1 c cocoa powder
1 tsp vanilla
4 c all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Coat cookie sheets with cooking spray. I like to line my sheets with parchment paper, but it isn't necessary. It helps save time with clean up. NOTE: I doubled the recipe when posting this. Just and fyi as you browse throught the photos and notice 4 eggs, etc.
  • 2. Start by prepping the first step of icing. In a saucepan, add milk and flour. Heat on low heat. Stir constantly until mixture becomes pasty. Cooking time takes approximately 10 minutes. You must stir constantly as it cooks to prevent mixture from becoming lumpy. When done, remove from heat & transfer to a bowl. Put in refrigerator to cool completely while you prep the cake tops and bottoms, about one hour. Do not cover, or if you must, cover lightly to prevent condensation from forming. We will finish the icing last.
  • 3. You will need 3 mixing bowls to make cake mixture. In first bowl, combine sugar, Crisco, & eggs. Cream together.
  • 4. In the second bowl, combine Sour Milk, Boiling water, salt, cocoa, and vanilla. Mix well until cocoa is dissolved completely into liquid. (To make sour milk, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 Cup of milk, stir and allow to sit for a few minutes.)
  • 5. In the third bowl combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda, mix well.
  • 6. Next, add the cocoa liquid mixture to sugar cream and mix well on low speed of mixer. gradually add flour mixture. Mix batter until all is blended well.
  • 7. Drop batter onto cookie sheets, approximately 1/8 of a cup. I use a cookie scoop or small cupcake batter scoop. Bake in preheated oven for 5-7 minutes. Toothpick inserted in middle of cake will come out clean when done. Remove from cookie sheet & place on cooling rack, allow to cool completely.
  • 8. Complete icing: In mixer, add Crisco, soft butter, vanilla & salt. Cream together. Add flour/milk mixture, & mix on low speed, gradually add powdered sugar until well blended. Place in refrigerator for about 20 minutes.
  • 9. Put together your Whoopie Pie! I like to use a pastry bag, and pipe my icing onto one cake, flat side, then top with another. It saves time and a big mess! Refrigerate for approximately one hour before serving. Keep refrigerated or in freezer. Makes an awesome midnight snack! :)
