In recent years I've developed a slight love affair with German chocolate cake that's only gotten worse as time has passed. For the longest time I kind of wanted to gag at the thought of coconut in frosting, but once I tried it there simply was no looking back. I've never actually made a German chocolate cake myself, but have enjoyed more than my fair share of cake and cupcakes from bake shops.
And to be honest I've always been a little scared of trying to make this type of cake because it always looks like the frosting is so gooey that it might just slide right down the side of the cake. Yikes!
But these whoopie pies solve that whole issue. Just sandwich that frosting between two soft cake mix cookies ~ problem solved. And my favorite thing is that these cookies are built around a boxed mix. The cookies are quick and easy, which means I don't mind spending the extra bit of time on the frosting.
*Tip: Pull the cookies out of the oven when they seem a little underdone...they will set up perfectly by the time they cool!
PS Make sure you use all the frosting for the whoopie pies....if you have any left over I can promise you it will somehow make its way from the spoon to your tummy. Swear.
