The Ultimate Twinkie Cake!

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 30 mins

Ingredients

  • Servings: 20
  • 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

Recipe

  • 1 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.
  • 2 mix well,then pour batter into wax paper lined 9x13 pan. then bake, let cool and remove from pan.
  • 3 slice lengthwise with thread or knife. spread filling between layers and sprinkle top with powdered sugar.
  • 4 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.
  • 5 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.
  • 6 you could be creative and add cocoa or strawberry jelly to the filling.
  • 7 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.
  • 8 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.
