2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/2 cup plain yogurt
1/3 cup canola oil
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Cassis Filling

Steps:

Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 2
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together sugars, yogurt, oil, eggs, and vanilla on medium speed for 3 minutes. Scrape down sides of bowl with a spatula. With the mixer on low, gradually add flour mixture, about 30 seconds. Scrape down sides of bowl again and transfer batter to refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 4
Transfer batter to a pastry bag fitted with a large plain round tip (such as Ateco #809) and a large coupler. Pipe 2-inch circles onto prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 1/2 inches between each. Take care to keep your pastry bag completely vertical to make nice circles. If working in batches, keep batter refrigerated between each batch.
Step 5
Transfer baking sheets to oven; bake until whoopie pies spring back when touched, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Step 6
Fit a pastry bag with a large plain round tip (such as Ateco #809) and a large coupler; fill pastry bag with cassis filling. Turn half of the whoopies over so that they are bottom side up. Pipe a small dollop of cassis filling onto each whoopie bottom; sandwich with remaining whoopies.
