Description
These pillowy soft whoopie pies are filled with creamy, fruit-kissed goodness that tastes like sunshine and comfort combined. A treat that’s perfect for brunches, parties, or just treating yourself on a sweet afternoon.
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup fruit preserves (such as peach, apple butter, or raspberry jam)
1 cup marshmallow fluff or cream cheese frosting
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
4. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
5. Add dry ingredients in three batches, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
6. Scoop tablespoon-sized rounds of batter onto prepared baking sheets, spacing evenly.
7. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
8. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool fully.
9. In a small bowl, mix marshmallow fluff or frosting with a spoonful of fruit preserves.
10. Match cakes into pairs. Pipe or spoon filling onto one half, top with second half, and press gently.
11. Chill assembled whoopie pies for 20–30 minutes before serving for best results.
Notes
For an extra fruity touch, swirl a bit of jam directly into the filling before piping.
Always cool the cake halves completely before assembling to avoid melting the filling.
Freeze unfilled cakes in a single layer, then bag them for easy make-ahead prep.
