If you are looking for an Easy Twinkies Copy Cat Recipe, I have one for ya!
This recipe inspirations comes just after Hostess, the maker of Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread, announced it is going out of business. It’s truly a sad day for all. What’s even more sad is the fact that Twinkies are selling on Amazon for a crazy amount of money.
Don’t worry though, you can still make your cream puffed pastry in your own kitchen! Here’s the Best Twinkies Copy Cat Recipe I have ever tried! Here’s a pan that works perfectly for this recipe. You don’t have to have this pan because you can make molds out of tin foil too.
Easy Twinkies Copy Cat Recipe
Make your very own Twinkies the easy way!
Ingredients
- Cake:
- nonstick spray
- 4 egg whites only
- 1 - 16 oz box of pound cake mix of your choice
- 2/3 cup of water
- Filling
- 2 teaspoons of hot water
- 1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt kosher salt is a milder flavor
- 2 cups of marshmallow screen I use the Jetpuffed
- 1/3 cup of shortening plain, not buttered
- 1/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees f.
- Use a molded pan (as seen in my post) or create your own molds by wrapping a square seasoning jar around tin foil to create the mold shape. Place these molds that you create, side by side on a cookie sheet.
- Start making the cake part:
- Beat the egg whites until stiff (it should peak when you lift your blender beaters up from the egg whites)
- In a separate bowl, mix together the cake mix and water. After it's blended with no lumps (about 2 minutes) fold in the egg whites.
- Pour the batter into the molds, filling each mold about 3/4 of an inch.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let the cakes cool before filling them.
- Create the Filling:
- Combine salt with the hot water in a small bowl. Stir it long enough for the salt to dissolve. Let cool.
- Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix with a blender until fluffy.
- Next, add the salt water mixture in the last step of blending the filling.
- Fill the cooled pound cakes with this filling by poking three holes in the bottom of each cake. I used a straw to do this. I moved the straw around to open the inside of the cake part leaving the hole the same size as the straw.
- Use a pastry bag to insert the filling mixture into the holes you just created.
- Enjoy!
