Boozy Baking: Orange Riesling Whoopie Pies
This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my privacy policy.
I have a good friend who is known for her boozy desserts. She was the first person to really introduce me to the idea of a “boozy” cupcake and I was hooked from then on. Boozy baking has become a regular thing in the Just Us Four house since then.
She’s been pretty busy with a little bundle of joy and hasn’t had much time to feed my cupcake cravings. So, I decided to undertake a little boozy baking of my own.
Full Disclosure: By baking, I definitely mean starting with a boxed mix…exact measurements required for real baking are just too much for my brain.
What You’ll Need:
Whoopie Pies
– 1 Box Orange Supreme Cake Mix
– 1 cup Riesling (I chose Chateau Ste. Michelle because it was only $7 but still something I would actually drink)
– 1/3 cup vegetable oil
– 2 eggs
Icing
– 1 Tbsp Riesling
– 2 sticks butter, softened
– 2 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
Let’s Make It:
1) Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Spray your whoopie pan lightly with cooking spray.
2) Place all of your ingredients in a large bowl. Stir with a spoon to combine. Using an electric mixer, mix at medium speed for about 2 minutes being sure to scrape the bowl a few times.
3) Spoon ~2 tsp of mix into the whoopie pie pan. Spread around the cup of the pan. Each cup should be about 1/3 full.
4) Bake in 325 degree oven for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
5) While the pies are cooling, beat the butter with the mixer until smooth. Add sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, with the mixer running. Once the sugar is incorporated, beat in the Riesling.
6) Frost 1 whoopie pie cake and top with a second piece of “cake.”
**Please note that, because the frosting contains uncooked wine, please be responsible in eating/sharing these. And yes, that is my CYA statement.**

Woah! I’m really digging the template/theme of this website. It’s simple, yet effective.
A lot of times it’s challenging to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and appearance. I must say you have done a great job with this. In addition, the blog loads super quick for me on Safari. Excellent Blog!
