Twinkie time

Last week I took my first crack at making twinkies. I was so proud I forgot to blog about it! Call these next few posts the Lost Pages...

The recipe is from this imitation expert who experiments to create the best doppelganger recipes. I started by beating the eggs whites for a long time... maybe 8 minutes with my hand mixer. You want to get the stiff peaks out of the egg whites.


Pound cake mix and water are blended...


then the egg whites are gently folded in.


Molds are crafted out of aluminum foil.

Bake! For about 30 minutes.



While baking, I made the marshmallow filling. It's similar to a whoopie pie's filling and is based on marshmallow fluff.

I don't have any decorating tips or the patience to fill the twinkies properly so I made twinkie sandwiches instead. Cut them in half lengthwise and spread that cream!


These are pretty good and everyone who had one loved it. But I am always pushing for twinkie excellence. Though spongy, these homemade twinkies still felt dense. Should I beat the eggs longer next time?
