Chocolate Cherry Cola Whoopie Pies

Tuesday, February 26, 2013 by Darla

Chocolate Cherry Cola Whoopie Pies by BakingdomYou will read no spoilers here. Please do not share any. Thank you!!!

I watched the finale for Downton Abbey (season 3) yesterday. Finally. I didn’t watch it for a whole extra week, and somehow, I managed to sit down in all the glory of spoiler-free blissful ignorance.

I hate spoilers!

I’m River Song, when it comes to spoilers. No Spoilers!

I don’t know how I got all the way to the season finale without one single spoiler, but I did.

Yay me!

Unfortunately for me, I have been in a state of denial and rejection at what took place in said episode for the last 24 hours. I was chatting with my friend (who’d already seen the finale, and knew what was in store) at the time, and the conversation went something like this:

Me: No. No. No. No.

T: What’s happening?? I should have watched it with you.

Me: [Character name]. No. No.

T: Is it over?

Me: Yes. How could they do this?? I hate them. [Denial of what I saw]. No. I refuse. No. No. No.

T: *ad libbed to protect details: You’re cray cray, Darla.

Me: I reject your reality. Your argument is invalid. No. Lies. I hate Downton! I got dizzy. When it happened. I KNEW. I KNEW WHEN — WAS –. THE BASTARDS!! HULK SMASH!

I continued to rant in denial and anger for 20 minutes. I have very patient friends. Then I comforted myself with chocolaty-cherry-sugary goodness. And all did not end well, but at least there was chocolate.

Hemp Non Dairy BeverageI’m sure most of you know that I try to offer up vegan substitutes to some of my recipes. Sometimes, I can…and sometimes, I’m not able to work it out. Either way though, I’ve relied on Pacific Foods non dairy beverages as an option in place of milk and cream many, many times.

I usually prefer their almond or hazelnut milks, because both of them have flavors that lend themselves beautifully to baking, but I was recently contacted and asked if I’d like to try their new hemp milk in a recipe.

In most cases, substituting a non dairy beverage in for milk, it’s 1:1, so it’s easy to try these out on almost any recipe, and the hemp milk worked beautifully in my whoopie pies. In fact, I felt I was able to add a smidgen more than usual, which helped my recipes turn out softer and fluffier.

Chocolate Cherry Whoopies by BakingdomWhen I was deciding what to make for these, I had two craving: soda and fruit.

I never drink soda. Well, almost absolutely never do. I’ll have one on a rare occasion as a treat, but when I do, I try to have an all natural version. I’m about to sound all preachy, but seriously, soda is just SO. BAD. For your health, that is. So I’ve almost completely eliminated it.

It sucks. I miss it. A lot. And I miss cherry coke the most. Le sigh.

But. That’s fruit and soda, right?? Yes. So guess what kind of whoopie pies I made (Not that you have to, since I’ve already told you, like, twice, but whatever, just play along, ok)?! With some chocolate. Because chocolate.

Cherry Chocolate Cola Whoopie Pies by BakingdomI was torn between using maraschino cherries and bings, or another fresh cherry, but I couldn’t find any fresh cherries in the middle of february, so my problem was solved for me. 😉

You can use any maraschinos you like, but I really prefer the ones they sell at Whole Foods, because the juice they’re in is natural, so it tastes way more like real cherries.

Chocolate Cherry Cola Whoopie Pie by BakingdomThese turned out perfect! The soda flavor isn’t particularly strong, but it lent a lovely lift to the cookies, and since the recipe only calls for three quarters of a cup, I got to splurge. Win-win!

These are a perfect combination of rich, fragrant chocolate cookie cakes and soft, fluffy cherry filling. I love the chopped bits of cherry in the filling the most; they add a great texture to everything and an occasional sweet-tart zing.

These were so quick to make, too. You guys need these in your life.

Enjoy!

Chocolate Cherry Cola Whoopie Pies
Makes a bakers dozen (13) medium sandwiches

*If making vegan/dairy-free, as always, be sure your individual ingredients are marked vegan and/or dairy-free.

Ingredients

FOR THE COOKIES
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup cherry cola
1/4 cup milk, or non dairy milk, such as hemp, at room temperature
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature (margarine for vegan/dairy-free)
2 eggs, at room temperature (1/2 cup apple sauce for vegan/dairy-free)

FOR THE FILLING
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature (margarine for vegan/dairy-free, I prefer sticks)
4 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 to 2 tablespoons milk, or non dairy milk, such as hemp
1/4 cup maraschino cherry juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup chopped maraschino cherries

To make the cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat mats; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a one cup measuring cup, gently stir together the milk and cola; set aside.

In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and beat until just combined. Scrape the bowl as needed, then stir in the vanilla extract. Sprinkle 1/3 of the flour mixture over the butter mixture and beat until just combined, then add half of the milk mixture, and mix until just combined. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture and milk (additions will be 1/3 of the flour, 1/2 of the milk, another 1/3 of the flour, remaining milk, then remaining flour).

Place 1 tablespoon scoops of the batter about 3-inches apart on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, until the centers are no longer soft. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer the cookies to a wire cooling rack and allow to cool completely before filling.

To make the filling: In a large bowl, or the bowl of a standing mixer, whip the butter for 5 minutes on high speed, until the butter is light in color and creamy.

Add the sugar and milk and mix on low speed for 1 minute, stir in the cherry juice and vanilla. Increase mixer to medium speed and whip the mixture for another 6 minutes, until the frosting is very light and creamy.

Stir in the cherries until incorporated.

Assemble: Spread or pipe a generous amount of filling onto the bottoms of half of the cookies. Place the remaining cookies, right side up on top of the filling.

    I love using coconut milk in place of some of the water for rice.

    I made a pie for thanksgiving using coconut milk in place of the milk in a pumpkin pie. It didn’t set well :-(, but I’m working on making it better for next year. The flavor was awesome.

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 8:31 am

    I use soy milk in place of regular milk in almost all of my baking. It’s hard to tell the difference, except when whole milk or heavy cream is called for.

    I miss pop too, gave it up over three years ago, but it could be worse, could be chocolate I gave up!

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 8:42 am

    My body doesn’t tolerate regular milk as much as I would like, so I use Vanilla flavored unsweetened Almond milk to drink, make oatmeal, or to make pancakes and waffles. I’ve never tried to actually bake with it because a lot of the baking recipes I use say that you really need the fat from the whole milk to get the right texture – and I tend to agree. So if you have any suggestions on how to get similar textures using dissimilar products, I’d appreciate it!

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 8:45 am

    We have used it in smoothies, but would love to start subbing it in baking recipes!

    I’ve started to use soy milk in a lot of my baking. It seems to give stuff a slightly sweeter hint of flavor (probably because i get vanillia soy milk) which just adds to things. My puppy Dodger agrees to. He’s fallen in love with the peanut butter treats I make him with it.

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 10:17 am

    it might be strange, but my favorite non-dairy substitute in baking is coffee creamers! I use the amaretto flavor in cake fillings, the chocolate flavor in cakes, etc. works great!

  13. Melinda @cookingalamel says

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 10:29 am

    I use coconut milk for just about everything now, cause I’m pretty lactose intolerant. Sooo creamy and delicious. I’ve never had hemp milk, but it sounds intriguing!

  14. Christina says

    I love using almond milk in puddings!

  15. Talia says

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 10:52 am

    I’ve made smoothies and oatmeal using almond milk, usually for the added protein for my son. I’d be interested in learning additional ways to cook with non-dairy beverage; I think my husband might have a lactose sensitivity and I’d like to try to accommodate him!

  16. Megan says

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 10:57 am

    I think this recipe would be a good venture into non-dairy cooking for me.

    I use almond milk in my coffee and cereal but have never thought to use it in my baking. This is certainly the recipe to try it out! Your photos are absolutely mouth-watering!

  18. grace says

    coconut milk is a staple for me–i use it in cakes, muffins, quick breads, and more!

  20. Olivia @ Liv Lives Life says

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 12:06 pm

    I actually use rice milk in place of dairy milk or water in lots of recipes. It’s especially delicious to use vanilla flavored rice milk in cake or pancake recipes!

  21. Danielle says

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 12:22 pm

    I love using almond milk in baking, especially with cookies and brownies.

  22. Theresa Sea says

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 12:41 pm

    I’m lactose-sensitive, so anywhere we can substitute soy or almost milk for cow’s milk is a blessing! I love having creamy soups thickened with flour and soy creamer. SO GOOD.

  23. Alice says

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 12:42 pm

    Alas it’s been all dairy, all the time for me in cooking so far. I would love a chance to try out hemp milk for this recipe. 🙂

  24. Megan J. says

    Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 1:10 pm

    I’ve never used that kind so I would love to try it…and of course I would make these whoopie pies! 🙂 I love cherry coke…..it’s soooo delicious! 🙂

    I like using non-dairy products in almost everything that requires dairy lately. It’s just something I’ve been wanting to try (changing my diet, etc.). But my favorite thing is to use it in vegan baking recipes, like cupcakes and cookies. I haven’t thought about using it in smoothies and coffee though. That is something I’d like to try!

    Also, I agree with you about Downton Abbey. As far as I’m concerned, the last 2 minutes didn’t happen. Nope. Rejected. Denied. Sorry.

    Now, I’m off to bake something from your website to make me feel better! 😉

    I have never used it in my baking because I never thought to do so but I must try it soon. I do live almond milk and coconut milk with my cereal and sometimes coffee. My son loves to use the coconut milk in smoothies. So he is now the official smoothie maker to his younger brothers because of his “secret ingredient”. Thanks for the chance yo win.
    P.S. these cherry cola whoopie pies are on my plans to make this weekend. Yummm!

  41. Sarah says

    Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 4:33 am

    Those look awesome! I quit soda too and I used to looooooooove Cherry Coke.

    As for my favorite way to use non-dairy beverages in baking, it’s everywhere! I am a vegan, so I only use non-dairy beverages 🙂 I mostly use soy because my kid is allergic to tree nuts and I gave her soy first and now she only likes soy. But I like to use other dairy free milks in stuff for me so I can mix it up.

    Crap. Now I really want a whoopie pie.

  42. G.G.,as in Gaby Guillen says

    Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 5:03 am

    I like to use non-dairy bevereges in smoothies!!!!!!!!! One of my favorite smoothies that contains it is almond, coconut, and strawberry smoothie 😀

  43. Danielle says

    Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 5:34 am

    My favorite way to use non-dairy beverages is in milkshakes. I love the way coconut milk adds just a hint of coconut to my milkshake. Plus I can pretend it’s healthier! Yeah, it isn’t really, but my world is a happy world. I haven’t used it in much else besides smoothies since I’m not a milk drinker of any kind, and most of the other dairy baking excursions I go on use buttermilk. I’ve been told that I can make a buttermilk-esque potion with non-dairy by adding lemon juice or vinegar to it, just like with dairy milk, but I haven’t tried it yet. I do plan on giving it a try, but I’m always nervous about doing that in case it goes wrong.

    I personally don’t use non dairy beverages in cooking/baking, but all three of my husband’s sisters are varying degrees of dairy intolerant. One of them is gluten intolerant, as well…if I win, I would probably give away some of it and save some to search for the perfect gf/df cinnamon roll recipe! My hubby has tried a couple recipes, and now it’s his mission to find one for his sister. 🙂

    Your reaction to the Season Finale of Downton Abby is almost EXACTLY like my reaction to The Angels Take Manhattan…. I cried for hours, and I’m still angry at Steven Moffatt! And I have tried baking with non-dairy products… I have to say, rice milk works very well! 🙂

  47. Jacqui says

    Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 8:35 am

    Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 10:00 am

    I exclusively use non-dairy beverages in cooking. My favorite is unsweetened almond milk. I use it in baking and in any receipe that calls for milk. I find that it does not scorch like cows milk can. I like that it is more nutritious and adds a little fiber.

  49. Shelly says

    I love using non-dairy beverages in everything from breakfast to dessert. Vanilla almond milk is the perfect base for a banana, peanut butter and oatmeal smoothie.Rice milk simmered with butternut squash and chipotle makes a terrific, untraditional sauce for a baked pasta dish. And when refrigerated, full-fat coconut milk transforms into a fantastic whipped cream!

    I’ve never used dairy substitutes, but my dear roommate is lactose intolerant. While she does happily eat the cakes, cookies, etc. I make, I feel really bad that she pops a pill beforehand! I’d love to try a nice fatty, lactose-free liquid to make cheesecake and ice-cream with, since I know she misses eating those. :3

    I get a thrill out of using non-dairy drinks in desserts that feature the flavor…that was a nonsensical sentence but I use almond milk in almond desserts, hunt down hazelnut milk for hazelnut tarts and so on. I get excited about new milk types!

    I like to use almond milk to make nacho “cheese,” to add to curries (coconut milk) or to jasmine rice, and I like soy milk in my ice cream recipes, since it’s so rich. If I’m baking, I tend to go with almond or soy milk. Vanilla soy milk is my favorite addition to pancakes.

    Just an FYI that you can’t simply swap margarine for butter and call it vegan. Most margarines are still made with animal/milk products such as butter fat, whey and/or casein. You need to buy a vegan alternative such as Earth Balance.

      As you can see just before the ingredients in the recipe, I specify that you should always double check your ingredients.

The best good boy that ever lived. 🤍 My brain i The best good boy that ever lived. 🤍 My brain is struggling to comprehend how it’s been almost two years without him. It feels like a flash in time and an eternity, simultaneously. #LittleMightyLoki
Twentieth New Year’s Eve together and he still m Twentieth New Year’s Eve together and he still makes me laugh til I cry {swipe}.
😂
I’m ready for new adventures, new memories, more kindness, and lots of healing in 2021. Among so many things I want for you, I’m especially wishing you belly laughs, abundant pleasure, endless excitement, and great food in the new year. Cheers and  happy New Year, my friends!
I always knew that I would be bounding as Olaf tod I always knew that I would be bounding as Olaf today because he is the epitome of a happy character. But it’s not just Olaf...I’m also bounding today as @joshgad, in a roundabout way, because Josh has brought so much joy and compassion to people. Yes, with his portrayal of Olaf (and so many other characters), but also, and mainly, as himself. He’s such a joyful and kind person, it has been a pleasure laughing and crying along with him, and Olaf, this year. Thank you, sir, for making my 2020 more magical and joyful than it would have been without you!

I’d also like to take a moment to share our fearless team leaders: @shebounds and @libraryladylife. They’re both so creative and they’ve been so encouraging throughout the whole month.

Although, truth be told, I’m much more like Michael and Jane... noisy, mischievous, and short-tempered. 😅 Or stubborn, suspicious, and inclined to giggle, if you want to use the movie for reference.

I couldn’t pick just a Remy quote for today because the one by Chef Gusteau is one of my favorites from any movie. I think it’s clear from several of my other bounds this month that food is one of my love languages, and Remy and Gusteau totally get it.
