Always I-N-S-P-I-R-E-D by the Internet, TRUE! Especially when see a photo or two! These WHOOPIE PIES are TERRIFIC, easy to make! Mix, blend, and did I mention bake! Ingredients:
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for cookie sheets |
3/4 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1 pinch ground cloves |
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg |
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper |
6 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1 large egg |
1/4 cup sour cream |
3/4 teaspoon vanilla, divided |
1 1/2 medium carrots, peeled and shredded very finely (to yield 1 cup) |
1/4 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut |
5 ounces cream cheese, softened |
2/3 cup powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon heavy cream or 1 teaspoon milk |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°. Put a dab of butter in each corner of 2 large baking sheets and line with parchment.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. In a large bowl, whisk together oil, brown sugar, egg, sour cream, and 1/4 teaspoons vanilla; stir in dry ingredients with a wooden spoon until well combined. Add carrots and coconut, stirring until just combined.
3. .Drop 1-tbsp. circles of batter onto baking sheets about 1 inches apart. Bake until cooked through and browned slightly, 14 to 18 minutes. Cool on baking sheets.
4. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat cream cheese until very soft. Add butter and beat until smooth and well blended. Add powdered sugar a third at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. Beat in cream and remaining 1/2 teaspoons vanilla.
5. 5. Flip cakes over and spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons frosting on half of them. Top each with a remaining cake, flat side down, to sandwich the frosting.
