The whoopie pie or Black moon or Gob are a baked cake like cookie with a creamy frosting spread between the soft cookies. And it is considered as a New England phenomenon and a Pennsylvania Amish tradition.
Whoopie pies recipe has it's origins with the Amish. In Lancaster County Pennsylvania, it is common to find roadside farms stands offering these desserts. Around 1930 Amish women first made this wonderful treats from leftover cake batter.
According to food historians, Amish women would bake these and put them in the children's lunch bags. When children would find these treats in their lunch bags, they would shout "Whoopie!"
An Amish Whoopie Pie recipe was published in a New England cookbook in the early 1930's. Since then, Whoopie Pies have been enjoyed by Mainers. Even now we can find them at pop stores, restaurants, bakeries and gas stations across Maine. (info courtesy)
