Time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Quantity: 18 sandwich cookies

This cake combines two of the most popular American desserts: whoopie pie and red velvet. Sandwiched between two soft, bright red cookies is a thick layer of snow-white vanilla cream cheese filling. The addition of chocolate and cocoa powder to the dough gives the cookies a rich chocolate flavor that pairs beautifully with the salty cream cheese filling. Fill the cookies when they're completely cool, then let them set further in the refrigerator. A perfect treat for holidays and special occasions.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 190°C and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the semisweet and milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on 50% power until melted, about 2 minutes. Stir until smooth.

  3. In a bowl, whisk together the melted butter, sour cream, eggs, vinegar, vanilla extract, and food coloring until smooth. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in four equal portions, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in the melted chocolate.
  5. Drop 1 heaping tablespoon of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets and smooth the tops with a wet finger. Bake until the cookies spring back when lightly pressed, 8-10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. Meanwhile, prepare the filling.Beat the cream cheese and butter with a mixer until smooth. Stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla seeds. Spoon 1 tablespoon of filling between two cookies; repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Refrigerate the whoopie pie for 30 minutes before serving.
