Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup buttermilk

Filling

  • 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: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure the whoopie pies do not stick.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until fully combined.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, use a mixer to cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract until the batter becomes smooth and well incorporated.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture in three batches, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix gently after each addition until just combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a tender texture.
  6. Prepare Batter Rounds: Using a tablespoon, scoop out rounds of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheets in the oven and bake the rounds for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool Cakes: Allow the whoopie pies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, stir together the marshmallow fluff or cream cheese frosting with a spoonful of your chosen fruit preserves until well blended to create the creamy fruity filling.
  10. Assemble Whoopie Pies: Match the cakes into pairs of similar sizes. Pipe or spoon the filling onto one half of each pair, then top with the other half and gently press them together to form a sandwich.
  11. Chill and Serve: Place the assembled whoopie pies in the refrigerator and chill for 20 to 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set.

Notes

  • You can use any fruit preserves you prefer, such as raspberry, peach, or apple butter, to customize the filling flavor.
  • If marshmallow fluff isn’t available, cream cheese frosting provides a delicious alternative for the filling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter when combining ingredients to ensure your whoopie pies stay light and fluffy.
  • Allowing the whoopie pies to chill before serving helps the filling set and enhances the overall texture.
