To decorate the cake we will need several Whoopie Pie cakes. To do this, place a small amount of dough into a cooking bag. Make 6 round pieces with a diameter of 4-5 cm. Place the baking sheet in a preheated oven and bake at 180-200 degrees for about 10 minutes.

Divide the rest of the dough into three equal parts. Cover the bottom of the mold (22 cm) with parchment paper. Lay out one part of the dough, smooth it out and put it in a hot oven. Bake for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees. Determine the exact baking time and temperature based on your oven.

Step 12

Step 12
Check the readiness of the cake with a wooden skewer. Bake the remaining two pieces of dough in the same way. Cool the cakes completely, cutting off the tops if necessary to ensure an even surface. Be careful, the cakes are very delicate and can crumble if you are not careful.
