Whoopie Pie Cake & the 4th of July!

This past weekend was not only the 4th of July, the wonderful birthday celebration of our great nation....but it was also my birthday!

Normally, my mother would make me her famous whoopie pie cake for me.  This is my all-time favorite cake; I even had her make one for my wedding.  Since she is two hours away from me and I was camping, I made it myself.  I prepared the cake before we left and made the frosting there.  My camper has a nice little prep-area that was just perfect for putting this cake together.

Presentation wasn't all that important in the making of this cake, considering it was just for the family and we were staying in a pop-up camper, so you'll have to excuse the crumbs and the pillow in the background.

It's very simple to make and put together.  Simply use a box cake mix (I like Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge) and use the filling recipe for whoopie pies that can be found here.

Next year, enjoy a piece on the 4th of July and then go enjoy the fireworks.  I'll be right there with you in spirit!

Blessings!
