Pumpkin Whoopie Pies With Maple Cream Filling

• Filling
• 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 7-oz. jar marshmallow creme
• 2 teaspoons maple extract
• Cake
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinammon
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 3/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
• 3/4 cup packed golden brown sugar
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 3 large eggs
• 1 15-oz. can pure pumpkin
• 1/2 cup milk
• non-stick vegetable oil spray

1. To make the filling, beat sugar and butter in large bowl in an electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add marshmallow creme and maple extract; beat until blended and smooth. Set aside.
2. Sift first 7 ingredients into large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars in another large bowl until blended. Gradually beat in oil. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating to blend between additions. Beat in pumpkin. Add dry ingredients in 2 additions alternately with milk in 1 addition, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down sides of bowl. Cover and chill batter 1 hour.
3. Arrange 1 rack in bottom third of oven and 1 rack in top third of oven; preheat to 350u0b0F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment; spray lightly with nonstick spray. Spoon batter onto baking sheet to form cakes (about 3 level tablespoons each; about 12 per baking sheet), spacing apart. Let stand 10 minutes.
4. Bake cakes until tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking. Cool cakes completely on baking sheets on rack. Using metal spatula, remove cakes from parchment.
5. Line cooled baking sheets with clean parchment; spray with nonstick spray, and repeat baking with remaining batter.
6. Spoon about 2 tablespoons filling on flat side of 1 cake. Top with another cake, flat side down. Repeat with remaining cakes and filling.
