And boy, did I ever. I made them way too big though. See the whoopee pies below? They’re each about as big as my fist.
That makes for a very large cupcake, that’s for sure. And that’s pretty much what these are – a thick cake batter dropped onto cookie sheets and iced with an old fashioned icing recipe – the 7 minute frosting – you whip sugar and eggs on a double boiler for 7 minutes until it turns into a smooth and shiny meringue-y frosting. Very sweet and nice on the chocolate cakey-pies cookies combo. And, I think I’ll have to cut these bad boys in half before serving them. They’ll be half cakes instead.
I used these delicious recipes at Dinner with Julie.
I’ll let you know the response tomorrow! Will whoopee pies replace cupcakes? They could! I think the sandwich angle is a good one. Also, the Amish angle works for me, too. I *heart* Amish quilts and beards.
Whoopee!
