Whoopie Pies

with Marshmallow Vodka Buttercream Filling

Let’s make whoopie, pies that is! Moist and delicious, the texture of these Amish inspired cakes lies between devil’s food and sponge cake. They are generously filled with a buttercream that is made lighter by the addition of marshmallow and just to excite the senses a bit - The Chocolate Goddess in me has added a splash of marshmallow vodka!
