Fall Recipe Alert: Pumpkin Spice Whoopie Pies🎃

After years of having these delicious cake sandwiches growing up in PA, I finally set out to develop my own recipe. They came out so fluffy and moist, with just the right amount of spice (for me, the limit does not exist with cinnamon 😝)

my only pro tip here is to handle the cakes as little as possible, since they are very soft by design. If you make these, let me know!
