Ingredients
For Twinkie Cakes:
- 1/2 cup cake flour
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 5 egg whites
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tarter
For Cream Filling:
- 1 cup marshmallow crème
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Grease 4 of the molds of a mini bundt pan. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a small bowl, whisk together *cake flour, AP flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- In a small saucepan heat butter and milk over low heat until the butter has melted down completely. Add the vanilla extract and set aside.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer with the whisk attachment, whip the egg whites until foamy. Add the sugar and cream of tarter then whip again until stiff peaks form.
- Add the flour mixture to the meringue and whisk on low speed until everything is incorporated.
- Finally, fold in the melted butter, until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake until lightly golden or until the cake tester comes out clean; about 12 minutes.
- Let the bundts cool in the pan while you prepare the cream filling.
For the Cream filling: combine all the ingredients in the bowl of your stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy.
- Once the bundts have cooled completely, poke little holes all around the bundts.
- Transfer the cream into a piping bag and fill each hole made in the bundts with the cream. If the cream oozes out, simply scrape the excess with a knife.
- Carefully transfer the bundts to a serving plate and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
*If you do not have cake flour on hand measure 1/2 cup all-purpose flour remove 1 tablespoon of flour and replace it with 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Sift the mixture at least 3-4 times.
