Easy Whoopie Pie Recipe
(using cake mix)
Whoopie Pies are like the new cupcakes, maybe even the new cake pops.
They are easy to make, adorable and beyond yummy. You can make them from scratch, or…you can be like me, and doctor up a cake mix to create these treats.
Let’s make these bad boys together:
Whoopie Pie Ingredients:
2 packages of Devil’s Food Cake Mix
4 eggs
1 1/4 cup Crisco {shortening}
Frosting Ingredients:
4 cups of powdered sugar
8 ounces of cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
pinch of salt
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine all the whoopie pie ingredients and mix. The batter will be thick, that is normal.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. This is VERY important. The whoopies cook really fast and the parchment paper helps prevent them from burning on the bottom.
Use a tablespoon to scoop spoonfuls and place 2 inches apart on the cookie sheet.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. Watch closely because they cook really fast.
This batch will make about 24 complete whoopie pies {2 cookies per pie}.
While you finish baking the rest of the pies, get started on the frosting.
Combine all the ingredients and blend until smooth.
Put all the frosting in a large Ziploc bag and cut a small hole in the tip.
Take your cooled whoopie pies and apply a large dollop to one side using the plastic bag.
Put the other whoopie on top.
Add your favorite sprinkles.
And enjoy!
You can even add food coloring to the frosting for a more festive look.
Holy cow, these are good. Seriously.
Hurry and wrap them up and get them out of your house,
unless you’re prepared to eat all 24 by yourself in one night.

Aaaaah Looking Very Nice!!!! 😀 I'm from the Netherlands so I have to find out which products i can use here but I'm definitely going to try these!! Can't Wait!
I'm reading your Blog for a while now! Love it! 😀 I had my baby when I was 22. My daughter is now 16 months. I can relate to many thinks you are writing. At this moment my baby is running trough the house holding the ends of my gift ribbon. It's now everywhere!! hahaha
I just want you to know that I love your blog, didn't know if I should post a comment cause I'm from the Netherlands (Maybe you wouldn't understand my 'hollandish English'.
I'm going to try this recipe as quick as I can!!! Yummy in my tummy. Thanks for posting!!
Big Hug,
Tjarda

yumyumyum! i can't wait to make these. i wonder if i could just add some cocoa powder for chocolate frosting in the middle?
Erin
Those look so so good. I have always been afraid of whoopie pies because I thought they would be very hard to make…I think you just conquered a fear of mine 🙂 My abs do not say thank you.
Anne Marie
This is such a fun idea!! I'm totally going to use these for my husband's birthday. Thanks for the fun idea 🙂
Danielle
I can't wait to make these!
Jackie
I love seeing "what goes around comes around". My mom made these for us in the early 80s! :). I still have the original recipe. Her icing is the cooked flour recipe. Your blog is adorable!!
Alyssa
YUM! Going to make these very soon…Bring on the sugar! Thank you for sharing such a fun recipe Ashley!
Alyssa {sweetsewnstitches.com}
Jessica
I could eat them all by myself : )
This is getting bookmarked, it is going to be absoulutely perfect for my son's birthday. I always thought I would need a whoopie pie pan to do the caky part, good to know it works well without the pan. Jake was born on Halloween and I can see these fitting right in with orange and black sprinkles!
Sarah @ Scissors and a Whisk
Yum!! I've made pumpkin whoopie pies before, and I loved them.
I think it's funny that you said to get them outta your house. I usually do a fourth or half of a recipe (if possible). If I do a full recipe, I *definitely* have to get it out of the house ASAP!
mrsmac
Ok, this might seem like a strange comment but – do all eggs look like this in America?? They are so white they almost don't look real??
More on the subject, these really look yummy and I think I'll be giving them a try asap! Thanks Ashley! x
Jenae @ Wildflower

I made these for my mom and mother-in-law for Mother’s Day using red velvet cake and cherry chip cake to make 2 different kinds of pies. Well, the moms went bananas over them and thought they came from a fancy bakery because they looked so professional! I rolled the sides of the red velvet pies in chocolate sprinkles from Holland and the cherry chip in red sugar crystals. We even had some extras for the hubs and me. Hubs “tested” one when they were ready — his reaction: “I LOVE YOU!”
Needless to say, these were a hit! Thanks for making me look like a baking rock star! 😉

I made these today and they are wonderful! I ended up with 40 Whoopie Pies, though. Not 24. YAY! More to share!

I’m making these right now-they are turning out great! So fun and festive. I have a question-do you need to refrigerate the cookies since the frosting has cream cheese?

I do trust all of the ideas you have introduced in your post.
They are very convincing and can definitely work.
Still, the posts are very brief for newbies. May you please lengthen them a little from next time?
Thank you for the post.

Appreciate it!

Its ideal for small logos and is popular with commercial clients as it provides one
of the most durable methods of branding clothing for
businesses. Because lighter ink was screened
twice on the garment. Another group that should consider purchasing custom T shirts is church groups.

I have a question about using just shortening and eggs for the cake mix. I am used to using butter and oil. How does all shortening change the texture of the cake, and the taste? I love the idea… just a bit gun-shy. Thank you! 🙂

Can I use a whoopie pie pan instead of the parchment paper?

I used this recipe but cut it in half. So it was 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons Crisco and the batter was oily so much that oil was at bottom of bowl. Box calls for 1/3 cup oil so the same amount of Crisco should be used. Redid another batch with 1/3 cup and xame out great
Frosting is amazing
