The Ultimate Twinkie Cake Recipes

GIANT TWINKIE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a Bundt pan with cooking spray (be generous!) and dust with flour, tapping out any excess. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, melted butter, and 1 cup water until smooth and combined.
• Pour batter into prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes.
• Let cake cool in pan 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. Carefully place back in Bundt pan.
• In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy, then add marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, and vanilla and beat until smooth. Gradually add heavy cream if mixture is too stiff and transfer to a large piping bag or resealable plastic bag with the end snipped.
• Using a teaspoon, scoop out 8 to 10 large holes around bottom of cake, making sure not to cut through the top. Pipe filling into holes, then carefully invert cake onto a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar.

THE ULTIMATE TWINKIE CAKE!

Steps:

• I listed the ingredients from a Duncan Hines cake mix, so you will need to follow the directions on which ever cake mix you use.
• Mix well,then pour batter into wax paper lined 9x13 pan. Then bake, let cool and remove from pan.
• Slice lengthwise with thread or knife. Spread filling between layers and sprinkle top with powdered sugar.
• Filling directions: Combine flour and water, cook until thick, cool in refrigerator, combine sugar,margarine,shortening and vanilla. Beat until thick and fluffy. Add cooled mixture; Beat again until fluffy and spread filling between layers. If it looks curdled, you need to beat it a little longer.
• Like I told you, you can make them into little loaf pans or mini muffin pans. Use a pastry bag to pipe the filling into the cakes.
• You could be creative and add cocoa or strawberry jelly to the filling.
• I try and sprinkle the powdered sugar on them just before I serve them as the sugar absorbs into the cake over a short period of time. You can refrigerate them (thats the way I like them, or frozen) but they are fine left out on the counter for a day or so.
• I am just guessing on the servings, it all depends on the pans you use. I think I get between 25-35 mini muffins out of 1 cake mix,1 dozen mini loafs and I am just approximating on the 20 slices in a 9x13. Also, to be honest, I am not sure the amount of time it takes to make them. The baking time is also a guess depending on which size pans you use. I make the filling while the cakes are cooking.

• Beat the eggs until combined; stir in the melted butter. Add the water, pudding mix, and yellow cake mix, stirring well to combine. The batter will be very thick. Divide the batter between the prepared pans, spreading it evenly.
• Bake until the cakes spring back when pressed lightly with a finger or a tester comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks.
• To make the filling, combine the room-temperature butter, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar. Beat until smooth. Stir in the whipped topping and vanilla extract.
