How to make Twinkie Bundt Cake
Ingredients:
- 1 box yellow cake mix
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup cooking oil
- 1 cup Pillsbury Fluffy Frost Vanilla Marshmallow Frosting (or make your own marshmallow frosting – see notes)
- Baking spray
- Powdered sugar (optional)
- Add All Ingredients to Your Walmart Cart! (Adds everything with one click! You can edit items before you check out.)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF, and let the sweet adventure begin!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, water, and cooking oil. With your mixer on medium speed, blend everything together until it’s just slightly lumpy. That means it’s just right, dear!
- Pour that luscious batter into a bundt pan that you’ve coated with baking spray (you want it to come out easily, after all!). If you don’t have baking spray, remember to grease it well with oil and a light sprinkle of flour.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes. Now, while it beckons you with its sweet aroma, keep an eye on it! When the top starts to firm up, toothpick test it—when it comes out clean, it’s time to take it out.
- Let it cool completely in the pan. This is the hardest part—resist the urge to take a nibble just yet!
- Once it’s cooled, keep it in the pan and gently poke holes almost to the bottom (which will be the top) of the cake, spacing them about 1 1/2 inches apart. Wiggle your finger to create a little cavity, perfect for the frosting.
- Now, grab that marshmallow frosting! Fill a sandwich bag with it, cutting one of the corner tips to make a small opening. Squeeze and fill each hole with sweetness, getting that frosting as deep as possible.
- Time to release your masterpiece! Carefully run a small spatula or butter knife around the edges of the pan to separate the cake. Flip it onto a plate with a gentle nudge—it’s like magic!
- Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for that extra touch of fantasy—that little snow-capped mountain look we all adore.
How to serve Twinkie Bundt Cake
Slice it up and serve it warm or at room temperature, and don’t forget to grab that first piece for yourself! It’s delightful on its own, but if you’re feeling extra cozy, serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
How to store Twinkie Bundt Cake
This beauty will stay moist covered at room temperature for about three days. If you want it to last a little longer, storage in the fridge will keep it perfect for up to a week. Just be sure to wrap it well, so that every bite remains soft and delicious!
Tips to make Twinkie Bundt Cake
