<p>Two states in America are fighting it out over the rightful home of a palm-sized chocolate cake.</p>
<p>The whoopie pie food fight between Maine and Pennsylvania was sparked after a Maine official introduced the snack as the state&#8217;s official dessert.</p>
<p>Residents in Pennsylvania&#8217;s Lancaster County were whipped up into a frenzy by the comments, saying the cakes originated from the kitchens of the area&#8217;s Amish families.</p>
<p>Maine state representative Paul Davis started the skirmish with a bill to praise the whoopie pie. </p>
<p>Mr Davis got the idea after speaking with people at the Maine Whoopie Pie Festival.</p>
<p>Amos Orcutt, president of the Maine Whoopie Pie Association was one of the residents who lobbied Mr Davis to make a stand.</p>
<p>Mr Davis said he&#8217;s been told Maine whoopie pies may date back as far as 1925. The website for Labadie&#8217;s Bakery in Lewiston, Maine, said bakers there started making whoopie pies that year.</p>
<p>Word of MR Davis&#8217; bill reached the Pennsylvania Dutch Convention and Visitors Bureau in Lancaster and organisers there decided to fight back. They said Maine&#8217;s actions amounted to &#8220;confectionary larceny&#8221;.</p>
<p>Lancaster residents say Amish and other Pennsylvania Dutch families have passed down whoopie pie recipes for generations. </p>
<p>The cake is about 80 centimetres in diameter, has a creamy vanilla filling, and is a cross between a soft biscuit, a cake and a pie.</p>
