Ingredients

Scale

Whoopie Pie Cakes

  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup natural cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
  • 2 tablespoons natural sugar
  • 1 tablespoon espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 3/4 cup warm water

Mascarpone Coffee Filling

  • 1 cup mascarpone (plant-based)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar (natural)
  • 1/4 cup brewed espresso or intensely brewed coffee
  • 2 tablespoons grape juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cake Batter: Begin by whisking together all the dry ingredients including the flour, natural cocoa powder, baking soda, natural gelling agent, espresso powder, and natural sugar. In a separate bowl, combine the vegetable oil, apple cider vinegar, and warm water. Slowly mix the wet ingredients into the dry ones until a smooth, slightly thick batter forms, ensuring a tender yet sturdy texture perfect for whoopie pies.
  2. Bake the Whoopie Pies: Use a spoon or piping bag to drop even portions of batter onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them to allow spreading. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers remain soft. Let the cakes cool completely to room temperature before filling.
  3. Make the Mascarpone Coffee Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend mascarpone (plant-based) with powdered sugar (natural), brewed espresso or intensely brewed coffee, grape juice, and vanilla extract (natural). Whip until smooth, fluffy, and holding a gentle peak for a perfect creamy texture and espresso flavor balance.
  4. Assemble the Whoopie Pies: Generously spread or pipe the mascarpone coffee filling onto the flat side of half the cooled whoopie cakes. Gently top with the remaining cakes to form sandwiches. Chill assembled pies for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld beautifully before serving.

Notes

  • Measure precisely to ensure batter consistency.
  • Do not overmix to keep cakes tender and avoid toughness.
  • Use freshly brewed espresso for the strongest coffee flavor.
  • Chill before serving to let the filling firm and flavors marry.
  • Keep cakes moist by storing in an airtight container prior to assembly.
