Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cups vegetable oil
• 0.5 cups unsweetened applesauce
• 2 units large eggs
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 0.75 cups milk (non-dairy or regular, kosher-certified)
• 12 large units kosher marshmallows
• 0.5 cups shortening
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and kosher salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In another bowl, combine the granulated sugar, vegetable oil, and applesauce. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and add the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk, until fully incorporated and smooth.

Step 6

Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon, drop 2-tablespoon-sized dollops of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched. Let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

Meanwhile, prepare the marshmallow filling. In a heatproof bowl, melt the kosher marshmallows and shortening over a double boiler or in the microwave in 15-second increments, stirring after each interval until fully melted.

Step 9

Remove from heat and beat in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Allow the filling to cool slightly so it thickens but remains spreadable.

Step 10

To assemble the whoopie pies, spread or pipe a generous dollop of the marshmallow filling onto the flat side of one cake. Top with another cake, flat side down, to create a sandwich.

Step 11

Repeat with the remaining cakes and filling.

Step 12

Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
