Whoopie Pie

I came across some pictures of the whoopie pie when I was blog hopping and stalking people haha!
Marvelous Whoopie Pie Nampak sedap gilos kan? Wah kalau dekat Msia sure dah order!

So dah alang2 puasa ganti hari ni, rasa2 nak makan something sweet and yummeh so ape lagi- whoopie pie.
Susah nak cari resepi, it might not be as popular as macaroon and the website above didn't offer any recipe either. Bahan baking kat rumah pun banyak dah habis so, nak tak nak angkut Irfan ke Walmart to get all the ingredients.
I got the recipe from this lady here Whoopie Pie Resepi. I didn't substitute the buttermilk- dah ade kat rumah.

Ingredients:-
For cakes
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk 
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg 

For fillings:
Jello Pudding - beli je, malas nak buat plus I don't like to eat raw telur..
 
The thing is, I really really like the look of the first whoopie pie yg kat atas tu- cantik. I want to make something exactly like that or maybe something close.
So here's what I ended up with, close but not as pretty hehe.. I used vanilla pudding instead of cream cheese. I would use whipped cream cheese next time around..

I didn't know how to make that pretty looking filling- rupanya selepas bertanya quite a # of people guna nozzle for cake icing. I told ya I'm not an expert.

What do you think? I added some choc sprinkler just to spice things up. I want it to be unique not exactly  like the original version
Bersepahnye la kan..
From side yg quite blurry
I ate 4! Haha.. Zuhri ate 3 I think. Irfan-0... haish si kecik ni.. Sedap... but if I'm going to make it again- I'd add more butter (3/4 cup instead of 1/2) and use whipped cream cheese as the fillings. The pudding wasn't sweet enough la.. all in all I can say mission accomplished! What do you think?
