Queenie Whoopie Pies

Thanks to the left-over marshmallow frosting I decided to make more whoopie pies to prevent it from going to waste. This time, however, I wanted to be experimental and invent one of my own. A little odd and very out of character, I know, but I think it’s time to start living life on the edge! As anyone who knows anything about me is aware, I’m a massive royalist and a huge fan of Mary Berry, so an obviously I wanted to combine the two! I’ve thus come up with what I’ve dubbed a Queenie Whoopie Pie: an homage to the Jubilee year with the whoopie pie version of a classic Victoria sponge. I’ve sandwiched vanilla sponge with strawberry jam and marshmallow frosting, creating a simple yet effective twist on the traditionally American cake. It’s perfect for a quirky take on afternoon tea: an all-American favourite with a quintessentially British finish.
