For the chocolate cakes:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2/3 cup Dutch-process cocoa
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 large egg
For the filling:
12 ounces whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 teaspoons confectioner's sugar
1 teaspoon lemon zest (from one lemon)
6 ounces fresh red raspberries (about 30)

1
First, prepare the cakes. Preheat oven to 350u00b0 F.
2
Whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt.
3
In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar. When light and fluffy, add in egg.
4
Mix in 1/2 of the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
5
Add vanilla and buttermilk.
6
Combine in the rest of the flour mixture with the batter.
7
Measure out 1/4 cupfuls of batter onto two baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches around each cake. Bake for about 12 minutes, switching pan position after 6 minutes. Cakes are done when they spring back to touch. Be careful not to overbake or they'll dry out. Cool completely on baking sheets before assembling into whoopie pies.
8
While cakes are baking, prepare the filling. First, whip cream into soft peaks, then gently stir in sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla. Refrigerate until ready to assemble whoopie pies.
9
Assemble whoopie pies just before serving. Mound about 2 tablespoons of prepared cream filling onto the bottom half of a cake. Then place about 5 raspberries onto cream, and top with another cake, bottom down. There will be extra cream-- feel free to serve with another dollop on the side, if eating on a plate.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
