Tips For Easy Twinkie Bundt Cake

You can use vanilla boxed cake mix if you’re in a rush.

Filling variations. Get creative with fillings: try fruit preserves, vanilla pudding, custard, banana pudding, chocolate cream, marshmallow crème, and even homemade Nutella!

You can also make traditional mini twinkies or muffins. Simply use a mini loaf pan or muffin molds. Carefully hollow them out after baking, add the filling and enjoy!

Make a chocolate version, by adding cocoa powder to the cake batter!

Bake for 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let cool in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto rack, remove the pan and let cool completely. Once cooled, turn the cake upside down on a cutting board. Using a melon baller, scoop out several mounds of cake through the underside, being sure not to cut through the top or sides of the cake.

Using a large piping bag fill the hollowed-out sections of the cake with whipped cream.

Flip the cake onto a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

Make sure to spray the Bundt Cake pan generously with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking. After the cake comes out of the oven, leave it in the pan for a few minutes to cool before you attempt to remove it.
