THE ULTIMATE TWINKIE CAKE!



The Ultimate Twinkie Cake! image

This is an Excellent cake! I get requests from my co-workers all the time! One of the great things about this cake is that it can be inter-changeable. You can be creative and use whatever flavor cake mix you like, and you can change the flavor of the filling. You can also make this in a 9x13 pan, mini loaf pans, or mini muffin pans (my new personal favorite!) Try this cake and your kids will love it! It is also a great cake for parties or get togethers. Enjoy!

Time 40m

Yield 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box yellow cake mix or 1 (18 1/4 ounce) box chocolate cake mix
1 1/3 cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
5 tablespoons flour
1 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup water
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup margarine

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.

Tips:

  • Make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the batter to mix more evenly and prevent curdling.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use two 8-inch round pans instead. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you're short on time, you can use store-bought frosting instead of making your own.

Conclusion:

This gluten-free Twinkie cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that's perfect for any occasion. With its moist crumb and creamy filling, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're craving a classic Twinkie, give this gluten-free version a try. You won't be disappointed!
