Red Velvet Whoopie Pie

* This recipe calls for the use of an oven so be careful :)


Ingredients:


baking trays
baking parchment ----> it's the brown one that looks like pattern paper :)
piping bag ----> may substitute it with ice bag and cut a small part of one corner to turn it into a piping bag


For the bread:
75g softened unsalted butter
125g light brown soft sugar
1 medium egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp baking powder
175g plain flour
50ml buttermilk
1 Tbsp red food color


For the icing:
50g cream cheese
30g unsalted butter softened
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
225g confectioner sugar, sifted ----> make sure you have extra for dusting later




Procedure:


1. Preheat oven to 180C. Line the baking trays with the parchment.
2. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. You can use an electric mixer for this. 
3. Add egg and vanilla and beat util mixture is well combined. Add baking powder and mix.
4. Whisk in flour and buttermilk in alternate pattern-- start and end with the flour. Be careful not to over beat the mixture. 
5. Add food coloring and a pinch of salt.
6. Pour batter into a piping bag with 1cm nozzle and pipe batter on the baking parchment. Form 2-3cm diameter circles and leave at least 2-3 cm gaps between each to leave room for them to spread.
7. Bake for 15 minutes or until they are puffed up. Let cool for another 15 minutes.
8. Prepare the icing: Beat cream cheese and butter together until well combined. Add vanilla and sugar and mix until smooth and fluffy.
9. After cooling, sandwich the icing between two pieces of the bread with the flat sides facing each other. 
10. Dust with the extra confectioner's sugar before serving.
11. Enjoy! :)

* When using the electric mixer, make sure you know how to adjust the setting of the speed otherwise you might over beat the mixture.
