Oh. My. Goodness. These are perfect. Not too sweet, very moist, and delicious!! Beware - it makes A LOT of whoopie pies unless you make the ginormous ones that are pictured. I started off making them using my normal cookie scoop (2T I think. They were perfectly sized (about palm sized, but since I was taking them to a sledding party, I went down to my small scoop (1t I think and they were perfect, two-bite pies. I cooked the small ones for 8 minutes.

I hadn't read the quanties of the ingredients before I started and realized that I didn't have enough flour. I used 2 cups of King Arthu's White Whole Wheat and they still baked up beautifully. I'll make them that way again. I also used Lake Champlain Chocolates organic cocoa powder (dutch processes which I think added to the chocolately goodness.

They disappeared at the party. It was the adults who all said "Those are my favorite!" and ran to the table.

Having grown up on the New England coast these are exactly what I needed to remind me of home. I made these recently while visiting family and every pie was gone within 1 day. If you want an authentic whoopie pie, don't change the filling, keep it exactly as is. My one caution is to make twice the filling as a traditional whoopie has about an inch of filling. Also the cakes needed about 15 minutes of bake time. Otherwise these are perfect!!

These turned out great, except as most of the other reviews, makes a lot more than listed (I got about 27 pies, about 5 inches in diameter. I used Martha Stewart's filling recipe, doubled it, and then made several different versions. Since it is Christmas, I added green food coloring to the plain vanilla. I made a white batch using peppermint extract and crushed peppermint candies, a red batch with cinnamon extract and crushed cinnamon candies, and a batch where I added melted dark chocolate and cocoa powder. They turned out delicious and very festive.

i made them small so baked them for 8 mins and they turned out amazing. For the filling i used cream cheese icing for half the batch and chocolate ganache for the rest. Cream cheese icing tasted great more than ganache.

I would have rated this with 5 stars, except the filling was not good. I would suggest a different filling. We used Martha Stewarts' Whoopie Pie filling, which uses butter instead of shortening, and it was MUCH BETTER! With this filling in it, it deserves more than 5 stars!!!!!

Made this recipe for a potluck. Everyone loved it. Makes a ton of very large whoopie pies, ( I think I got about 20. Make sure you have a very large mixing bowl on your stand mixer or you might end up with a very large mess. I will cut the recipe in half when I make it again . Cake was moist and flavorful. filling very tasty too.

i'm from lancaster, pa- i know whoopie pies! this cake is terrific, but the filling is not quite right. the amish (famous for their whoopie pies use shortening, but i steer very clear of that toxic stuff!! here's what i do for the filling:
1 c. whole milk
5 T. flour
1 c. unsalted butter
1/4 t. salt
1 1/4 c. 10x sugar
1 t. vanilla. Place milk and flour in saucepan. Cook, whisking frequently, on medium heat until thick. Cool.
In lg bowl, cream butter, then add salt, 10x sugar, and vanilla. Mix until all ingred. are incorporated. With mixer on low, slowly add the cooled flour mixture to the butter mixture. Beat on medium for 5 minutes until mixture has a fluffy, creamy texture.
You will prob need to double this recipe, or half the cake recipe.

The cakes are delicious, but I had to bake mine much longer than 12 minutes. I think a 1/4 cup scoop of batter would make a good-sized cake -- I used a 1/3 cup and mine were perhaps a bit too big. They definitely spread out a lot while baking. I also found the filling to have way too much shortening for my taste. I had to add a lot more sugar, fluff, and milk to fix it. Next time, I might cut the amount of shortening in half, as someone else did. I cut the cake part in half but kept the filling part the same and the quantities were perfect. Overall, though, very delicious!

My daughter Emma and I travel up coastal Route 1 in Maine each year and plan our journey around when Moody's Diner in Waldoboro will be serving lunch so she can get one of these FABULOUS whoopie pies! She eats it before her lunch. This recipe is perfect. The chocolate cake is very rich and dense and moist. The hard part of finding the perfect recipe is finding the perfect ingredients for the filling; this can make or break the recipe. Don't deviate from this original recipe, you won't regret it! I'm making these for Emma tonight for Valentines Day. Yummy 5stars+

This recipe was excellent, I couldn't stop snacking throughout the whole process. I have struggled for a long time to find the right filling recipe, this one was perfect! not too heavy or light--and the cake is light but rich in flavor. great choice for my New Year's Eve Party, I definately recommend it :
