What do you get when you mash together a cake with a cookie? Whoopie pie! I came across this recipe from one of my favourite food blogs, Not Quite Nigella. The first time I tried this recipe, I used rock salt thinking somehow that the granules would dissolve...well it didn't! So, second time around I just decided to omit the salt and instead of the marshmallow filling I made a peanut buttercream. I also made them much smaller, using a teaspoon instead of an ice cream scoop. They rise and expand quite a bit in the oven, you have been warned! I used Na's buttercream recipe with some slight modifications:
Peanut buttercream recipe
- 125 g unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of smooth peanut butter
- 1 and 1/2 cup of pure icing sugar, sifted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp milk
- Beat the butter and peanut butter with an electric whisk
- Add the icing sugar, vanilla and milk
- Beat until smooth and creamy
I love peanut butter and while I thought this buttercream was pretty good, I think I would add more peanut butter next time. Enjoy! Mi xo
