Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

I've been craving pumpkin for weeks now and finally found some cans at my grocery store, so when I got home I decided to make pumpkin whoopie pies. This recipe is from Matt Lewis's and Renato Poliafito's first book, BAKED: New Frontiers in Baking. The extra dose of cinnamon and dark brown sugar make these special and I can understand why Time Out New York named these one of the top 100 tastes of 2007.


These whoopie pies are moist little pumpkin cakes and are super delicious. It didn't take any time at all to whip up a batch with the cream cheese filling. My craving has finally been satisfied. You can find the recipe online here.

    I've never made a whoopie pie but I think I'd really like one.
    I have this cookbook so I will check it out the recipe.
    I'm ready for baking with pumpkin, kind of felt of October today;-)

    Your Baked posts are making me want to go cookbook shopping! Little pumpkin cakes sound wonderful right about now, since we're fully into autumn weather.

    This is one of my favorite recipes from my favorite baking book. Pumpkin and cream cheese icing is the best!
