Homemade Chocolate Twinkies with Meringue Filling
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a twinkie pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined.
-
Spoon the batter into the prepared twinkie pan, filling each cavity halfway.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In the meantime, prepare the meringue filling. In a large bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
-
Once the twinkies are completely cool, use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to fill each twinkie with the meringue filling.

Serve and enjoy!
