Lemon Whoopie Pies are a spin on your favorite classic Amish dessert recipe. This is one recipe that everyone will want more of!

What You'll Need

  • 1 (18-1/4-ounce) package lemon cake mix
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 stick butter, softened
  • teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 4 cup confectioners' sugar

What to Do

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat baking sheets with cooking spray.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, oil, and eggs; beat well. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets, at least 3-inches apart.
  3. Bake 7 to 8 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool slightly, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and lemon zest until fluffy. Beat in confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time until smooth.
  5. Turn half the cooled cakes over onto their rounded sides and spread a dollop of filling over them. Place the other half of the cakes on top of the filling, forming sandwiches. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
