  •  Make a small holes in the foil parallel to the hole in the tray. Carefully insert the cones into it.

By

After looking many yummy looking goodies especially red velvet cake and whoopie pie’s from my dear bloggers,  I wanted to try them badly but with a difference.. Whoopie pies are small, flat sponge cakes sandwiched between cream – or in this case cream frosting. These sweet little cakes are just delicious, mostly healthy and looks fantastic.These whoopie pies are delicious and healthier than most desserts—they’re made with vitamin-rich beets!!!The beet flavour is extremely subtle and also gives the cake a lovely color . Just loved this cake… As they  are made using beetroot and named them as ” Heart beet whoopie pie cake ” perfect impress my valentine isn’t it 🙂

Ingredients

For cake:
All purpose flour- 1 cup
Beetroot -3 tbsp( Boiled and pureed)
Butter milk 1 cup ( To make butter milk : Take milk in a bowl add lemon juice to it and keep it for 30 mins without disturbing and you butter milk is ready to use)
Vanilla Extract – 1/2 tsp
Butter- 3 tbsp
Sugar- 1/2 cup
Cocoa powder- 2 tbsp
Baking powder-1/2 tsp
Baking soda – A pinch
Salt  – a pinch

Method 

For red velvet whoopie pie cake :

Preheat the oven to 200 F. Combine butter , Butter milk , beetroot puree, food colour till frothy. If there is any lumps don’t worry it will let mixed when combined to flour.Sift the All purpose flour , cocoa powder , baking powder and baking soda .Divide the flour mixture to 2 equal parts. Add each part of flour mixture into the butter milk mixture by whisking  them continuously.Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Now you can either spoon them on the baking tray to form a round cookie shape or just pour all the batter in the tray . Bake this flat cake in preheated oven at 350 F for 10 min or till when a toothpick inserted should come clean.Give them a standing time of 10 mins and using a cookie cutter cut them into desired shape, I made them heart shaped as it is valentines day :).

Filling 
Beat the heavy cream and sugar to form a soft peak. Add vanilla essence and mix .

Assembling

Now take piece of heart shaped cake and apply the frosting in one side of the cake and then place another piece of heart on top of it like a sandwich . You can either use a spoon or pipe the frosting using piping bag.
