Ingredients:

For the Cakes:

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp baking powder

¼ tsp salt

4 large eggs, separated

1 cup granulated sugar

⅓ cup whole milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tbsp melted butter

For the Cream Filling:

½ cup butter, softened

1 cup powdered sugar

1 cup marshmallow fluff

1 tsp vanilla extract

1–2 tbsp heavy cream (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Make the Cakes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Lightly grease a Twinkie pan or small oval molds.

In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.

In another bowl, beat egg yolks with sugar until pale and thick.

Add milk, vanilla, and melted butter; mix well.

Fold the dry ingredients into the yolk mixture.

In a clean bowl, beat egg whites to stiff peaks.

Gently fold the whites into the batter.

Fill each mold about ¾ full and bake 10–12 minutes, until golden.

Cool completely.

  1. Make the Filling

Beat butter until fluffy.

Add powdered sugar; mix until smooth.

Add marshmallow fluff and vanilla.

Add cream only if needed to loosen the texture.

  1. Fill the Twinkies

Use a small piping tip to poke 3 holes in the bottom of each cake.

Pipe in the cream filling until each cake feels slightly full.

Serve immediately or chill 15 minutes for a firmer texture.
