TWINKIE CAKE

My mother-in law, Helen always made this. She gave me the recipe a long, long time ago. She wrote it on a piece of paper. I still have it in my recipe box. It's kind of funny, she always told me there was something different she did to it that wasn't on the recipe. I never wrote it down, and I could never remember what it was....

Ingredients

1 boxed yellow cake mix
FROSTING: COOK MILK & FLOUR TOGETHER
1 c whole milk
5 Tbsp all purpose flour
FROSTING: ADD COOKED FLOUR MILK MIXTURE TO THE REST OF THESE
1 c sugar
1/2 c crisco
1 stick softened butter
1 Tbsp vanilla extract
1/2 tsp salt
4 Tbsp confectioners' sugar (optional)

Steps:

1. Bake cake according to directions. Let cool completely.
2. Gather all ingredients for frosting.
3. Frosting: After cake has cooled, cook the flour and milk together over med low heat until thick. This takes me several minutes because I don't want to scorch the mixture. I just take it on and off the heat stirring constantly. It gets pretty thick, kind of like pudding. Let cool.
4. Add the cooled flour and milk mixture with the rest of the frosting ingredients. Beat until fluffy. This takes a few minutes. This isn't sweet enough for us, so I add 4 T confectioners sugar while beating. This is optional. Cut cake in half, add all the frosting on top of this half , then place the other half of the cake on top of the icing.
5. Keep cake refrigerated and covered. Enjoy!
6. If you want your filling really white, use clear vanilla. If you don't have it, the regular is fine.

I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this cake was. I'm not a big fan of Twinkies, but I loved this cake. It was moist and flavorful, and the Twinkies added a nice touch of sweetness.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover Twinkies. I always have a few extra Twinkies lying around and this cake is a great way to use them up.
