Hostess Twinkie Sponge Cake image

I found a treasure trove of recipes, which were developed by a lady named Gloria Pitzer, I have no idea, who she is, but when I got my hands on the recipe book, obviously from the 50's, I freaked out. This publication has recipes from places like Woolworth's Sears, and Hudson's Cafeteria, and many, many, more. I figured that the "Zaar" would be the place to preserve them. I haven't made them all, but I know they'll be good....Enjoy!

These Twinkies were a bit dry, but the flavor was still good.

I'm not a huge fan of Twinkies, but these were actually pretty good.

I had trouble getting the filling to set properly, but the cakes still tasted good.

These Twinkies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them.

These Twinkie sponge cakes were a huge success! They were so light and fluffy, and the filling was perfectly sweet and creamy. I'm definitely going to be making these again.
