Directions: |
Directions:Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheets with silicon mats or parchment paper.
Put the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices in a bowl and whisk to combine.
Put the butter and brown sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the pumpkin, egg, maple syrup and rum and beat until well combined. Mixing well after each addition, add the dry ingredients in two batches.
Leaving about 2-inches between each cake, use a 2-teaspoon ice cream scoop to drop batter onto the baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees until the cakes are firm, about 7 minutes. (Alternatively, use a 1-ounce scoop and bake for about 15 minutes.) Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, transfer to a rack and cool completely.
Spread a dollop of filling on the bottoms of half of the cakes, top with a second cake and serve. Can be made ahead, covered and refrigerated for 2-3 days. Serve at room temperature.
Sift the confectioners’ sugar and spices together into a bowl. Set aside.
Spiced cream cheese filling
Put the cream cheese and butter in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. Add the maple syrup and rum and beat until smooth. With the mixer on low, gradually add the confectioners’ sugar and beat until incorporated. Increase the mixer speed and continue beating until creamy.
