These honey whoopie pies are my go to treat whenever I want something special but don't have much time. With just 40 minutes from start to finish, they come together so quickly that you can whip up a batch on a weeknight. The honey in these cakes isn't just for sweetness though, it's packed with antioxidants and natural enzymes that make it so much better for you than regular sugar. The tender chocolate cakes paired with that creamy honey filling remind me of store bought versions, except homemade tastes infinitely better and costs just a fraction of the price. Trust me, once you try these, you'll be making them all the time.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
