Chocolate Twinkie Cake
Packaged Twinkies make a good dessert but they lack that freshly made taste. Also known as chocolate Swiss roll in some places, Twinkies are chocolatey with a vanilla filling, and this recipe takes those elements and blends them together in cake form.
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix plus ingredients listed on the box
- 1 tub chocolate frosting
For the Filling:
- ½ cup shortening
- ½ cup butter
- 3¼ tablespoons white sugar
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Follow the instructions on the package to bake the cake.
- Let it cool and then cut it in half across the middle.
- Put the flour, milk and salt in a pan and cook until thick.
- Take the pan off the heat and stir in the vanilla.
- Let it cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Cream the sugar, shortening, butter, and salt, then add it into the refrigerated mixture.
- Beat for 10 minutes or until fluffy.
- Spread it over the bottom layer of the cake and add the top layer back on.
- Spread the chocolate frosting on top.
