Pumpkin season is upon us and I could not wait one more minute to give you a recipe. So I made these Pumpkin Roll Whoopie Pies!
If you follow me on Instagram I posted a picture of winning a Facebook giveaway and this Wilton Harvest Whoopie Pie Pan from my blogging buddy Connie at Urban Bakes. I am so glad too because it pushed me into fall baking which I have been wanting to do but was just procrastinating about.
I wanted to go simple with these because it was my first time making them and I thought the pan made them super fancy! I did some research on whoopie pies before I endulged because I really do not want to call a recipe something different than what it is. So I found out that whoopie pies are basically cake with frosting in the middle and can be considered a cookie, pie or cake.
So after discovering that I simple made my pumpkin roll cake and poured it into the molds. It was super simple because it did not require waiting for cake to cool, or rolling it up into a towel full of powdered sugar. So if you are wanting to do a cake roll but avoiding all of the steps involved I think this is the simplest way to go! ENJOY!
