Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake Base:
   Start by preheating the oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Sift the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and fine salt into a separate bowl. Stir the sifted dry ingredients into the butter mixture using a wooden spoon.

2. Add Wet Ingredients:
   Gradually incorporate half of the warm milk into the mixture. Once well combined, add the remaining flour mixture and repeat the process, alternating with the rest of the milk, until a smooth batter forms.

3. Shape the Whoopie Pies:
   Transfer the batter into a piping bag. On the prepared baking sheet, pipe small mounds of the batter, about 4 cm in diameter, spaced evenly apart.

4. Bake:
   Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack.

5. Prepare the Royal Icing:
   To make the royal icing, beat the egg white until stiff peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to beat until smooth and glossy. Divide the icing into three bowls: leave one white, color one with red food coloring, and leave the third for any other desired colors.

6. Decorate the Whoopie Pies:
   Once the cookies have cooled, decorate half of them with the colored royal icing to create the faces of Mickey and Minnie. Be creative and use the colors to make fun, colorful designs.

7. Whipped Cream Filling:
   In a separate bowl, whip the fresh cream until stiff peaks form. Once the cookies are decorated, spread the whipped cream on the underside of the undecorated cookies. Place the decorated cookies on top to form cute sandwich-style whoopie pies.

8. Serve and Enjoy:
   Allow the whoopie pies to set for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy these delightful Mickey and Minnie-themed treats!

Tips for Perfection:

• You can customize the royal icing colors to create different designs for each pie, making them even more fun for a party or celebration.
