If you have ever been to our house for dinner you would know that Jacob cooks and I bake. I love that I have a husband who is willing to try new recipes and techniques in the kitchen. Lately he has been perfecting stir-fry with his new wok. Yum. We eat well every night and I think we make a pretty good team!While I love to bake, I tend to stick to my favorite recipes and not branch out too often. In fact, if I think about my favorite recipes the ideas have all come from other people:

Chewy cookies - Jacob
Apple Torte and Pound Cake - Mom Samad
Pumpkin Muffins - Becky Verhagen
Well, this recipe is no different. Jacob sent this link to me a few months ago and I have tested it out three times now. I think I have it down. I've had some helpers along the way and have received some great critiques from my nephew Sam's sharp palate!
Note from Sam - kids don't like the sea salt in the filling.
Note from Me - Adults do! (actually, Mara and Titus didn't seem to mind it either)
These Whoopie Pies are a light chocolate cake with peanut butter filling. The sea salt mentioned above cuts back on the richness and makes it an adult-friendly dessert. The cakes come out perfect with no adjustment to the recipe. It takes a bit of time to work through each step but it is worth it!
Click here for the link to the recipe. I hope you enjoy. If you have any favorite recipes please share!

Amy, no sense it trying a recipe until after you taste the product. Let me know when is good, I will see if my palate can out do Sam's.
Love, Louie
I thought I left a comment, but it didn't show up!!
Anyway, love the pies-love the chocolate face of Mara that I see alll too often, and yes, love the honesty of Sam. I mean, a good food critic is always needed:)
Jack will be licking those beaters before you know it and I am sure he will have a favorite dessert of his own!
Matteo and I would have been MORE than happy to test your whoopie pies. They look absolutely delicious!
Aunt Louie - I will try to make some for Jack's baptism party. You can sample them then.
Jodi - It was so much fun to bake with Mara that day. she was a great helper - it is obvious you bake with her a lot.
Francesca - I should have brought some with us yesterday. I'll make sure you get a sample some day!
