Whoopie!

I was at my grandma's house the other day when she found a recipe for whoopie pies in a magazine. We both thought they looked really yummy, so I went into the kitchen and whipped them up.

We were right. They are delicious and quite possibly my new favorite sweet treat.

Two chocolate cakes sandwiched together with a marshmallowy filling. Mmmmmm. What's not to love?

Here's the recipe. I believe it came from AARP magazine.

Whoopie Pies

For the cake:
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups flour
1 cup buttermilk

Beat sugar, egg, butter, and vanilla until light and creamy. Mix cocoa, baking soda, salt, and flour. Blend with buttermilk into the creamed mixture. Drop by heaping tablespoons onto greased baking sheets. Bake 7-9 minutes at 375 degrees. Cool on wire racks. Makes 30 cakes.

For the filling:
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups marshmallow fluff
2 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt

Mix all ingredients well. Sandwich a heaping tablespoon of filling between two cakes. Makes 15 whoopie pies.
