To make these Red Velvet Fondant Whoopie Pies, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1 cup buttermilk

For the filling:

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract and red food coloring. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, until a smooth batter forms.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each scoop. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cakes are set and spring back when lightly touched. Allow the cakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and heavy cream, and mix until a smooth and creamy filling forms.
To assemble the Red Velvet Fondant Whoopie Pies, spread a generous amount of the filling onto the flat side of one cake, and top with another cake to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cakes and filling.
These Red Velvet Fondant Whoopie Pies are perfect for any occasion, from a casual afternoon snack to a fancy dessert for a special occasion. They are sure to impress your guests with their beautiful appearance and delicious taste. Enjoy!
