Ingredients
  

Whoopie Pie Batter

  • ½ C unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ C sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 ¼ cups cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¾ cup milk
  • ½ cup Valentine’s Day heart sprinkles

Filling

  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3-5 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1 small disposable piping bag with a star tip
  • 1 cup mini heart confetti sprinkles

Instructions
 

Making The Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a whoopie pie pan, or muffin top pan, with non-stick spray.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the butter, sugar, vanilla, egg and sour cream until combined and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder and salt.
  • Alternating between the dry ingredients and the milk, gradually mix into the wet ingredients and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • Scoop some of the batter into the whoopie pie pan and sprinkle Valentine's Day sprinkles on top.
  • Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool completely.

Filling and Assembly

  • Using a mixer, beat the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and heavy whipping cream until smooth. The mixture will be thick and holds a peak.
  • Scoop 1 C of frosting into the piping bag with the star tip and set aside.
  • Based on the size of the whoopie pies, pair two pieces together.
  • Pipe a dollop of the frosting onto the bottom layer of the whoopie pies.
  • Sprinkle the heart sprinkles onto the sides of the frosting.
  • Place the second whoopie pie on top and press down to create a sandwich.
  • You can add add more sprinkles if desired. While holding the whoopie pie, shake sprinkles to cover the outer edges of the filling.
