Homemade Twinkies



Anything a factory can make, you can make. Most of the time, you can do it better. Here's my Twinkie recipe:

Spongecake:

Ingredients

    • 6 eggs
    • 1 cup sugar
    • 1 cup flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1/4 salt
    • 1/2 cup scalded milk
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

  1. Beat eggs til thick&lemon colored (about 5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed).
  2. Gradually add the sugar a few spoons at a time; beat another 3 minutes.
  3. Slowly add flour, baking powder, salt.
  4. Beat in milk in three equal portions till blended.
  5. Add Flavoring.
  6. Beat 2 minutes.
  7. Pour batter into greased & floured creme canoe pan (see link) 
  8. Bake in the center of a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes (or till toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  9. Cool on rack, 1 hour.
  10. Using pastry bag, fill cakes from the bottom in three places. Can use buttercream, cream cheese, marshmallow fluff or fruit filling. 
  11. Wrap and refrigerate or freeze to use as needed.
Easy peasy. Now get in the kitchen and get to cookin'.
