Ingredients
Top tip: Marshmallow fluff can be bought at specialist American food stores like Americanfood.co.uk
- 250g unsalted butter
- 175g (6oz, 1 cup) firmly-packed soft brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 100g (4oz, ½ cup) unsweetened cocoa
- 300g (10oz, 2 cups) plain flour
- 240ml (8fl oz, 1 cup) of sour cream
- 1tsp baking powder
- 1tsp salt
- 1tsp pure vanilla extract
- Splash of milk
- 250g unsalted butter (room temperature)
- 225g (8oz, 1½ cups) icing sugar
- 300g (10oz, 2 cups) Marshmallow Fluff (optional)
- 1½tsp pure vanilla extract
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C, gas mark 4). Line baking tray with greaseproof paper
- In a large bowl (or electric mixer), cream together butter, sugar, and finally the egg. In another bowl, combine cocoa, flour, baking powder and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the mixture then add the milk, vanilla and sour cream; beat until smooth.
- Put equal amounts of batter (½ cup or a ice-cream scoop) onto the lined baking tray - 6 per tray as they will spread when baking.
- Bake for 10 mins or until when pressed the sponge keeps its shape. Remove from oven and leave to cool completely on a wire rack.
- To make the filling: Beat the butter in a bowl until soft, gradually sieve in the icing sugar, add in the vanilla extract and beat the mixture well. Next fold in the Marshmallow Fluff if using.
- Add to a piping bag with star shaped nozzle and pipe on to one of the whoopie pies. Sandwich another whoopie pie to the icing.
- For finishing touches, sieve 150g (5oz) icing sugar into a medium bowl and gradually add enough water to make a smooth, spreadable icing. A few drops of food colouring will give you a colourful finish. Decorate with your favourite sprinkles.
