Chocolate Buttermilk Whoopie Pies with Raspberry Marshmallow filling

Whoopie pies are an American baked good item that have seen a huge surge in popularity recently, even here in Canada. A certain coffee chain sells miniature red velvet ones (for a not so miniature price) and strangely sell the same ones in their Canadian stores as they do in their Edinburgh stores. 

I've tried making these a couple of times with limited success. Often the cake bit is too large and can get sticky after a few hours. This particular recipe is adapted from the Wilton baking site - since I bought their specialty pan to make these (yes, I do have a weakness for baking pans (and shoes of course)) - however, I adapted to using my favourite 'dump' method, probably just because it's easier and doesn't use butter. Here is the Wilton recipe.
