Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 10x15 inch jelly roll pans.
- Beat the eggs until combined; stir in the melted butter. Add the water, pudding mix, and yellow cake mix, stirring well to combine. The batter will be very thick. Divide the batter between the prepared pans, spreading it evenly.
- Bake until the cakes spring back when pressed lightly with a finger or a tester comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool completely on wire racks.
- To make the filling, combine the room-temperature butter, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar. Beat until smooth. Stir in the whipped topping and vanilla extract.
- When the cakes are cool, spread the filling mixture on top of one cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top of the first, and cut into bars. Wrap each bar in plastic wrap and store in the freezer.

HOMEMADE TWINKIES
I have made these for years. Everyone loves them. They would auction them off at a fundraiser at a local church for $5.00 each piece. I would bake 3 pans to try to fill the demand. I have used 1 cup butter and no crisco and it turned out fine. My daughter always request this for her birthday.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly butter 3 8-cup cream canoe pans. (I use Norpro 8 cup cream canoe pan, item #3964) Wipe out any excess butter. Set aside.
- 2. In a medium bowl, on high speed, beat egg yolks for 3 minutes. Add cream of tartar and beat an additional 2 minutes. Eggs yolks should be thick and lemony in color. On medium speed, add condensed milk, vanilla extract, lemon extract and food coloring. Add water and cake mix and continue beating for 30 seconds on low, then 1 minute on high.
- 3. Pour batter in canoe wells, filling a tad more than half way.
- 4. Bake Twinkies for for 18-23 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately run a toothpick, in a sawing motion, around the edges of each Twinkie. Flip the cakes out onto a wire cooling rack. Cover cooled Twinkies with plastic wrap to keep moist until ready to be filled.
- 5. In large bowl, cream butter, powdered sugar and shortening until light and fluffy (a minimum of 4 minutes). Add salt and vanilla, mix until blended. Add marshmallow creme and mix for 1 minute. Fill injector (that came with the cream canoe pan) with your Twinkie creme, attaching the long angled tip. Holding the Twinkie upside down in your hand, insert injector tip into Twinkie and slowly fill with creme. You'll feel the Twinkie firm in your palm and that's when you'll know you have enough cream. Do not overfill. Release pressure on injector and slip tip out of Twinkie. Repeat this step two more times, making three evenly spaced, filled sections on bottom of Twinkie. Enjoy!
Tips:
- For the perfect golden brown color, bake the Twinkies until the tops are just set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the Twinkies to cool completely before filling them, this will prevent the filling from seeping out.
- For a creamier filling, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to fill the Twinkies.
- Store the Twinkies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Homemade Twinkies are a delicious and fun treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, picnics, or just as a special snack. With a little time and effort, you can easily make these classic treats at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
