matcha whoopie pie

So lots of you have been asking for whoopee pie ( well perhaps not lots... just a few).
Not having the faintest idea how to make a whoopie pie we enlisted the help of catty the domestic goddess to fashion a wonderful matcha whoopie pie......

How to make these beauties in your own kitchen.

matcha whoopie pies

2 cups plain flour
1/4 cup teapigs matcha powder
1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk (I used natural yoghurt as a buttermilk substitute)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
110 grams unsalted butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
For the filling:
110 grams unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cup icing sugar
2 cups marshmallow fluff
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 175°C/350°F.

Mix together flour, baking soda, matcha powder and salt in a bowl until combined.
In another bowl, stir together buttermilk (or substitute) and vanilla extract.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 5 minutes), then add the egg and beat until well combined.
Reduce the speed to low and mix in the flour, alternately adding the buttermilk mixture as well. Mix until smooth.
Scoop 1/4 cup portions of batter and lay on baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake in pre-heated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the cake bounces back when touched.
When ready, remove from oven and cool on wire rack.
For the filling, beat together the butter, icing sugar, marshmallow fluff and vanilla extract until smooth.
Spread the filling on a flat side of a cake, and top with another portion of cake.
