Chocolate Twinkie Cake - Desserts and Sweets Group! Ingredients: 1 box cake mix (Moist Chocolate Type) 1 can of frosting (Chocolate Cream Type) For Filling: 5 tablespoons of flour 1 cup of milk 1/4 teaspoon of salt 1 teaspoon of vanilla 1 cup of granulated sugar 1/2 cup of shortening 1/2 cup of margarine 1/2 teaspoon of salt Directions: Bake cake according to package directions when cake is completely cooled, turn cake out of pan onto a large plate or platter. (i usually use a cutting board) if the cake is really moist, put the cake in the freezer for a couple minutes and it should pop right out! Cut the thickness of the cake in half with a large knife or cake leveler Using a second plate, remove the top of the cake and set aside Flip the bottom half of the cake back into the cake pan For this part, you can make the cake all fancy and do multiple layers if you want to In a medium saucepan cook 5 tablespoons of flour, 1 cup of milk, 1/4 teaspoon of salt until thick When it is too thick it doesnt beat up as nicely in the end Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla Let cool completely Put it in the refrigerator to cool while you do the next step. In a medium bowl, cream together 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1/2 cup of crisco, 1/2 cup of margarine and 1/2 teaspoon of salt When the gravy is cooled completely, add it to the bowl of creamed ingredients and beat for 10 minutes It should be fluffy and the consistency of twinkie filling. Recipe makes around 2 cups of fluff It would be enough to have a 1/2 inch of filling in a 9x13 cake. Spread the cream filling on the bottom cake layer, leave 1/4 inch of space around the outside of the cake The cream will spread out when the top layer is put back on. Carefully flip the top layer back onto the cake Frost as you normally would If you are going to do a cake with multiple layers, i would recommend putting the cake in the freezer so the twinkie filling sets up and does not mix with the frosting if it squeezes out of the sides Note: The cake doesnt need to be refrigerated it keeps fine for the normal lifespan of a cake Serve and Enjoy!
