Twinkie Cake
Print ME!
Oh mercy. I just showed this gem to my husband and apparently I am making this for dessert tonight. I am going to use a from scratch recipe, because I don’t want to go to the store. From a newspaper clipping, circa 1958.
1 yellow cake, bake according to box directions. Let cake cool, slice into halves. Fill with filling, put back together.
Filling:
- 1 c. milk
- 1 T. flour
Mix together. Cook over low heat until thick. Let cool.
- 1 c. sugar
- 1 stick oleo
- 1/2 c. Crisco
- 1 t. vanilla
Beat until fluffy. Add above mixture and beat until fluffy.

So how did it come out? I have some boys here who love Twinkies so I can’t wait to hear!

My husband liked it a lot, I thought it was pretty unnatural. The combination of the uncooked flour, butter and shortening was a little odd. I think it would be really good with a yellow cake and some homemade simple whipped cream. Or at least no shortening. I did make your cookies though and they were awesome! Thanks again!
