Homemade Twinkies
Cake:
1 (16-ounce) box golden pound cake mix
4 egg whites
2/3 cup water
Filling:
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup vegetable shortening
11/3 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 drops lemon extract
. Note: You will need a spice bottle about the size of a Twinkie, twelve 12
x 14-inch pieces of aluminum foil, a pastry bag and a toothpick.
. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
. Fold each piece of foil in half twice. Wrap the folded foil around the
spice bottle to create a mold. Leave the top open for pouring the batter in.
Make twelve of these molds and arrange on a cookie sheet. Grease the inside
of each with nonstick spray.
. Disregard the directions on the cake mix box. Instead, beat the egg whites
until stiff. Combine with cake mix and water, and beat until thoroughly
blended (about 2 minutes).
. Pour batter into molds, filling each about3/4 inch. Bake in preheated oven
for about 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick
comes out clean from the center.
. For the filling, cream the butter and shortening. Slowly add the sugars
while beating. Add the evaporated milk, vanilla and lemon extracts. Mix on
medium speed until smooth and fluffy.
. When the cakes are done and cooled, use a toothpick to make three small
holes in the bottom of each one. Move the toothpick around the inside of
each cake to make room for filling.
. Using the pastry bag, inject each cake with filling through all three
holes.
Yield: Makes 10.
