Ingredients

Scale

Cake Batter Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar (natural)

Mascarpone Coffee Filling Ingredients

  • 1 cup mascarpone (plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/4 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Optional Ingredient

  • Smoked turkey bacon (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and natural gelling agent. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and powdered sugar (natural) until creamy and light. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until the batter is smooth, slightly thick, and easy to pipe.
  2. Bake the Whoopie Pie Shells: Using a piping bag or spoon, drop rounded dollops of batter onto the prepared baking sheet in 2-inch circles, spacing them well to allow spreading. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the tops spring back gently when touched. Cool the shells completely on a wire rack to keep them soft.
  3. Make the Mascarpone Coffee Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone (plant-based), strong brewed coffee, powdered sugar (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), and natural gelling agent. Beat gently until the filling is smooth, silky, spreadable, and holds its shape.
  4. Assemble the Whoopie Pies: Pair whoopie shells of similar size. Spread a generous amount of mascarpone coffee filling on one shell and sandwich with the other. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the filling and develop the flavors.

Notes

  • Use fresh brewed coffee for the best flavor in the filling.
  • Chill the filling before assembling to ensure it is firm and easy to spread.
  • Pipe the batter in uniform circles for even baking and neat presentation.
  • Mix the batter just until combined to keep the whoopie pies tender and fluffy.
  • Prepare the filling and cake shells ahead of time and assemble just before serving.
