Sweet sandwiches anyone? Well, these delicious chocolate cakes with marshmallow filling will certainly satisfy your cravings. They did mine.
When I whipped them up, my intention was to make whoopie pies which are a huge fave of mine. Technically I guess these could still be called whoopie pies, but I couldn’t bring myself to name them that since the tops of my cakes weren’t smooth like the ones I associate with whoopie pies or “gobs” like they’re also called in some states.
Anyway, short story shorterโฆ I’m going with cakewiches. Chocolate cakewiches because smooth or not, these were so good I had to share.
Start out with simple ingredients to make your batter.
Then use a 2 to 2-1/2 inch scoop for equally sized cakes. Mine was 2-1/4 inches wide.
The batter will spread so give them plenty of room. I’d go with about 3 inches in between to be on the safe side. Just bake them in multiple batches.
You’ll end up with 12-14 cakes that are about 3-1/2 inches in diameter.
You can also use a smaller scoop and end up with more, but I like a big handheld size cakewich.
Once baked and cooled, transfer them all to a large baking sheet to assemble.
Make the marshmallow filling and pipe on a thick layer using an Ateco #807 decorating tip.
Yum-o-rama!
Sandwich those babies together. Just be gentle when pressing so you don’t break the cakes. They are delish, but also delicate.
I wish (whoopie pies) or cakewiches like these, were sold in more bakeries. I would absolutely buy them whenever I came across them.
Buy them or bake them, I dream of sinking my teeth into them. Just. Like. This. OMG! so good.

How would you alter the filling to make chocolate? Just add 1/2 cup of cocoa powder?
looks tasty and delicious, thanks for sharing the recipe
Hi
I wanted to know if this cookie can be made in advance? Maybe freezing the dough before baking? Any tips would be helpful! Thanks!
Great recipe. My son loved them. Should they be stored in refrigerator?
These were DELICIOUS! ย But mine rose a lot and weโre much fun puffier. Any tips??ย
These turned out amazing and were absolutely delicious!! My family and coworkers all gobbled them up! Thanks for the awesome recipe! Wondering if there is a way to modify the recipe to make a vanilla cookie? Would I just sub in flour for the cocoa powder? Would love your help/thoughts! Thanks much!
YAY! I am so happy they were a hit with everyone. I haven’t made vanilla ones, but I would swap the cocoa with the same amount of flour and use baking powder when you do a test run.
Thanks for the tips! They came out alright and were tasty, but the chocolate ones are by far the best! Making them again this weekend! Thanks again for the awesome recipe!
Where do I find special dark cocoa?
Sorry, the special dark cocoa is by Hershey’s. I found mine at my logal Kroger grocery store.
These look so delicious!
Thanks Monica!
These are awesome and I love the name. ย
