Whoopie Pies are a treasure. Making this pumpkin version is such a great autumn treat.
Autumn hits and suddenly it’s baking time! These are so easy and yet so special. They are made to impress!
Make the batter first. Mix all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and whisk the wet ingredients in a smaller bowl.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix it all up!
Spoon by heaping teaspoonfuls onto baking sheet. You can make them bigger if you want.
Bake, checking for doneness by gently touching the top to see if it springs back.
Whip together cream filling ingredients with electric beaters.
Spread cooled cakes with cream and top with another.
Store these in a covered container….if they last that long!
