Our first blog post.
It's quite exciting. So, I have chosen a recipe that's quite easy and super delicious. Everyone who tried this recipe loved it.
This recipe uses applesauce to bind the flour together for a really smooth batter. The batter is very thick and almost like a dense, sticky dough. However, the whoopie pies turned out really light.
If you don't have applesauce you can always substitute it by blending together equal parts of finely chopped apples and apple juice until the mixture is really smooth.
We've made a strawberry filling but you can make a plain vanilla one, omitting the strawberries. You can also use peppermint extract instead of vanilla or eliminate the strawberries and add some fine instant coffee granules instead.
Here's the recipe:
Ingredients
For the woopie pie:
1.5 cups flour
0.5 cup cocoa
1tsp baking soda
1tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
0.5 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 cup applesauce
For the icing:
0.5 tsp vanilla essence (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
0.5 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1.75 cup pureed strawberries (you can add or deduct depending on how sweet the strawberries are and your preferred strength of flavor)
Method
Whoopie pie:
Preheat the oven to 190*C or 375*F
Cream together the butter and brown sugar until the mixture is light and all the sugar is coated with butter. Add the egg and beat it in, with the beater on a low speed.
Mix together flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a separate bowl.
Alternately add the flour mixture and applesauce to the flour/sugar/egg mixture alternately and carefully fold them in.
Begin and end this process with the flour.
The batter should be very thick, almost like a dough. Roll the batter into little balls and put them on a baking try lined with baking paper, 1.5 inches away from each other.
Bake for 10-14 minutes.
Filling:
Combine all the ingredients until the filling reaches a nice, smooth consistency.
Once the whoopie pies come out of the oven, generously spread some filling on the flat side of one and then sandwich it with another.
