The Oreo Whoopie Pie

If this is your first introduction to the Whoopie Pie, the name may be worth a giggle, but it’s misleading! A Whoopie Pie is somewhere between a cake and a biscuit.

Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Line two baking trays with baking paper or silicone mats.

Whisk together the butter and sugar.

In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Whisk in the egg.  Beat well.

Fill a piping bag with the mixture and pipe 5cm round cakes onto the lined baking trays.

Bake for 10-15 mins or until the cakes spring back when touched.

Allow to cool before adding your filling.

Add the water to a metal bowl over a bain-marie on a low heat. Break the marshmallows in half and add to the water.

Spoon the mixture on to one half the whoopie pie and sandwich the other half on top.
