How to Make Delicous Red Velvet Whoopi Pies

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack in the center.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, ½ cup shortening, 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar, and 1 ¾ cups packed brown sugar using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes).
  5. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract and 2-4 tablespoons red food coloring until well combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in two additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  8. Drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each whoopie pie.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. One sheet at a time.
  10. Let cakes cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting: In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (softened), 3 cups powdered sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  12. Once cakes are completely cool, spread a generous amount of frosting onto the flat side of one cake. Top with another cake, flat side down.
  13. Repeat with remaining cakes and frosting.
  14. Serve and enjoy your delicious red velvet whoopie pies!
