As the weather cools down outside, I love to crank the heat up in my oven with an unending supply of fall-inspired baked goods and treats.
This week, I chose black velvet whoopie pies with orange filling. While I mostly opt for creative ways to cook with cinnamon or pumpkin spices, this Halloween recipe made for a spooky-sweet change to the usual pumpkin loaf.
Curious about the name, I found through research that these treats are native to the Amish and New England culture. From traditional chocolate to seasonal pumpkin, the name for these cream-filled goodies spawn from the reaction people gave upon finding one in their lunch box.
