1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup vegetable oil

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0F with racks in upper and lower third. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Reduce speed to low and alternately mix in flour and buttermilk in batches, beginning and ending with the flour until combined.
5
Add the red food coloring and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined.

Spoon 2 tablespoon mounds of batter 2-inches apart on lined baking sheets.
7
Bake, switching positions of baking sheets halfway through baking, until rounds are puffed and set, 8 to 10 minutes.

Slide parchment with rounds onto wire racks to cool completely.

Beat together cream cheese, butter, lemon juice, vanilla, salt, and sugar until creamy, 1 to 2 minutes. Spread about 2 tablespoons of filling on flat-side of half the rounds; top with remaining rounds, flat side down, to form whoopie pies.
