Few tips to have delicious looking Red Velvet Whoopie pie at home –
1. As the whoopie pie is very small, it does not take long to bake. so stick to the time mentioned in the recipe for baking. Because over baking will make these dry.
2. Use an ice-cream scoop to put small heaps of the cake batter on the parchment paper. This will give you uniformity in size. However, if you don’t have an ice cream scoop, use two spoons, and make sure that every time you scoop out almost th same amount of batter.
3. You can store unfilled cakes in an air tight container; at room temperature.
4. You can use a piping bag to fill the cookies or even a spoon would work just fine.
5. Keep the filling in the fridge for sometime before assembling the cookies. A runny filling will be difficult to manage. If you have runny filling – add more icing sugar. or if the filling is too stiff add a spoon of milk.
6. We need red food coloring to get that perfect hue and if you are using dutch processed cocoa powder; the color will be more vibrant.
7. Using butter milk contributes to the moist and soft texture of the whoopie pie. If you don’t have ready to use butter milk in the fridge; make it at home :-
Buttermilk.
Measure one cup of milk and stir in one tablespoon of white vinegar. Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes. When it is ready, the milk will be slightly thickened and you will see small curdled bits. This mixture will not get as thick and creamy as buttermilk, but will perform its role in the cake batter quite well.
