Mimi's Whoopie Pie Filled Chocolate Cupcakes image

These are the most mouth-watering cupcakes you will ever have. They are very dark chocolate and very moist and are filled with a whipped whoopie pie filling. They crack open when you fill them. These have been much loved in our family for years--loved more than Whoopie Pies. The batter also makes a wonderful 9x13 cake.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

2 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup hot water
2/3 cup unsweetened baking cocoa
3/4 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup Betty Crocker™ Whipped fluffy white frosting (from 12-oz container)
3/4 cup marshmallow creme

Steps:

Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
In medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder; set aside. In small bowl, mix hot water and cocoa until dissolved; set aside.
In large bowl, beat shortening with electric mixer on medium speed 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar, about 1/4 cup at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping bowl occasionally. Beat 2 minutes longer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about one-third at a time, and cocoa mixture, about half at a time, beating just until blended.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each with about 3 tablespoons batter or until about two-thirds full.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pans; place on cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
In small bowl, mix frosting and marshmallow creme. Cut cupcakes crosswise into halves. Spread about 1 tablespoon filling on each cupcake bottom; replace cupcake tops.

Tips:

Make sure your oven is preheated before baking the cupcakes. This will help them rise evenly.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
Bake the cupcakes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cupcakes dry.
Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
When making the frosting, be sure to use softened butter. This will make the frosting smooth and creamy.
If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the frosting.
Decorate the cupcakes with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or other desired toppings.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Whoopie Pie Cupcakes are a fun and easy dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a moist chocolate cake batter and sandwiched with a creamy chocolate frosting. These cupcakes are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
