Ingredients
  

For the Cakes:

  • 1½ cups gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg optional
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Assembly:

  • 2 cups marshmallow fluff
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • In large bowl, whisk egg until beaten. Add melted butter, pumpkin, milk, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
  • Add both sugars to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
  • Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined. Don't overmix.
  • Using cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of batter onto prepared baking sheets, spacing 2 inches apart (they will spread).
  • Bake 10-12 minutes until cakes spring back when lightly touched and edges are set.
  • Cool on baking sheet 5 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Cool completely.
  • To assemble: Turn half the cakes upside down (flat side up). Spread about 2 tablespoons marshmallow fluff on each. Top with remaining cakes, flat side down, pressing gently.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Cakes can be made 2 days ahead and stored airtight
Assemble just before serving as marshmallow fluff can make them soggy
For neater sandwiches, pipe the marshmallow fluff using a pastry bag
Store assembled sandwiches in single layer, covered, up to 1 day
