Description
The Twinkie Cake is a delightful dessert inspired by the classic Twinkie snack, featuring a soft, moist yellow cake layered with a creamy filling and topped with marshmallow frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box yellow cake mix (approximately 15.25 oz)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff
Instructions
- Prepare the cake batter by mixing yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
- Bake the batter in two greased and floured cake pans at 350°F for 25-30 minutes.
- While the cakes are baking, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then add powdered sugar and fold in marshmallow fluff.
- Once cooled, assemble the cake by placing one layer on a serving plate and spreading the marshmallow cream filling on top.
- Place the second layer on top and frost the cake with the remaining marshmallow frosting.
Notes
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Measure ingredients accurately for the best results.
- Allow cakes to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
