Homemade Twinkies recipe
Recipe adapted from TLC
Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
For the filling:
- 1/3 cup shortening
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup light cream
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease three mini loaf pans with cooking spray.
- Beat the eggs and sugar with a handheld mixer until thick. Slowly add in all other ingredients and beat until fully combined. Divide the batter among the mini loaf pans, filling about 3/4 full. Bake cakes for at least an hour, or until golden brown. Cool in pans and then transfer to a wire cooling rack.
- While cakes cook, prepare filling by mixing shortening, sugar, vanilla and light cream with a hand mixer. Once mixed, slowly add in sugar and beat until combined. Fill a pastry bag with frosting and cut a small hole.
- Once cakes have cooled, carefully poke three holes in the bottom of the cakes. Pipe frosting into the holes until just filled. Cool for at least 20 minutes and enjoy!
