Texas Sheet Cake Whoopie Pies

March 15, 2017 By Shannah Coe 12 Comments

A few years ago, whoopie pies made a come back. I absolute love them and was so excited to see them in more bakeries. I even bought myself a whoopie pie pan to make them at home! My other love: Texas style sheet cake. I broke out my pan the other day and decided to combine them and make Texas sheet cake whoopie pies.

Texas Sheet Cake Whoopie Pies

When trying to decide what to put in my whoopie pies, I went back and forth between peanut butter and cookie butter. In the end, I settled on peanut butter but I definitely plan to remake them and try cookie butter too. I think both are amazing.

Ingredients for Texas Sheet Cake Whoopie Pies:

Cake:
1 cup flour
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
8 Tbsp butter
1/2 cup boiling water
1/4 cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Frosting:
7 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
3 Tbsp milk
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Filling:
1 cup peanut butter

Let’s Make It:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a whoopie pie pan with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. 

3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 2 Tbsp cocoa powder and mix well. Add boiling water and let boil for 30 seconds to one minute. Remove from heat and add to flour mixture in bowl. 

4. In a small bowl, combine buttermilk and egg. Mix in baking soda and vanilla extract. Stir in to flour mixture and mix until combine. Divide between sections in whoopie pie pan. Bake for 10 – 15 minutes or until set.

5. Meanwhile, melt butter for frosting in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 Tbsp cocoa powder and, once mixed well, remove from heat. Add milk, vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Mix well. Pour over warm whoopie pies and let set.

6. Once frosting has set. Divide peanut butter between half of  the whoopie pies. Top with the remaining whoopie pies.

If you’ve ever had Texas sheet cake, you know the frosting is the best part so I poured it over both pieces of the whoopie pies. You could easily just do the top of pies instead if you wanted though.
