Whoopie Pie report: came out like Devil Dogs!

Well-known member
I tried the KA flour whoopie pie recipe over the weekend and had strange results! The dough turned out very glutenous (shaggy and sticky), and didn't spread at all. Also was not the "black chocolate" color I was going for. I did use dutch process cocoa. I had to decide whether to toss the dough, or keep going and make the filling. Decided to fill, and they tasted EXACTLY like Drake's Devil Dogs. So if you're a fan, try this recipe!!

Definately a fan ~ Here is a cake recipe that tastes like Drake's Funny Bones

I may have posted this before ~

Introducing Dianne’s Peanut Butter Crème Fudge Torte

PEANUT BUTTER CRÈME FUDGE TORTE

Preheat oven 350° (or at Devil’s Food Cake Mix’s suggested heat)

Ingredients

1 Devil’s Food Cake Mix (any brand is good)
Prepare Devil’s Food Cake Mix by using the ingredients to make cake. Ingredients will be on cake mix box

Filling

Milk mixture
6 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk

Creamed peanut butter mixture
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup butter/margarine, softened
1 cup creamy peanut putter
1 Tablespoon vanilla

Glaze
¾ cup semi-sweet morsels
1 Tablespoon corn oil
1/3 cup chopped, nuts (optional)

Step 1 (devil’s food cake)

Generously grease & flour two 8 or 9-inch round cake pans. Prepare Devil’s Food Cake Mix according to box instructions. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake Devil’s Food Cake, at box suggested heat, according to box instructions. Cool in pans on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans. Cool completely. Set aside.

Step 2 (milk mixture)

While cake is baking, prepare filling. Combine flour and milk in medium sauce pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until very thick. Transfer mixture to a bowl and cover surface with plastic wrap. Cool in refrigerator while cake is baking and cooling.

Step 3 (creamed peanut butter mixture)

Combine sugar, butter, peanut butter and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Mix ingredients until creamed. When milk mixture is chilled, add to creamed peanut butter mixture and beat, together, until fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Step 4

Cut cooled cake layers in half—horizontally—using a long sharp knife (bread knife works best) or by using a thread, forming 4 thin cake layers.

Step 5

Place one layer (use a top layer) on serving dish cut side up. Spread 1/3 of filling evenly over layer. Repeat with second and third layers (use both bottom layers of cake for second and third layers), spreading 1/3 of filling on top of each layer. Top with (use the second top layer) remaining layer of cake, cut side down. Spread little of filling on top layer.

Step 6

In microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and oil. Microwave on medium for 1 to 1 ½ minutes until chocolate chips are melted. Stir until smooth. Reserve ¼ cup of glaze. Spread remainder of glaze evenly over top of cake. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts. Use remaining ¼ cup of glaze to drizzle over nuts and down sides of cake.

Refrigerate cake until ready to serve. At least 4 to 6 hours. Serves12. Refrigerate any leftovers.

 
Thank you!! Both DH and I are big Funny Bone lovers!! Foil helmet notwithstanding!! smileys/smile.gif

 
MoNJ this cake is great ~ most important the cakes have to be cooled or they'll slide ~ how I know

this ~ simple several of mine have slid.

This cake takes time but it is soooooo worth it.

It's rich in everyway ~ a small slice does wonders.

I am originally from NJ, Woodbridge ~ Iselin and my son was born in Edison. I knew you would know about Drake's funny bones so I especially hope you enjoy this cake. smileys/smile.gif
