This cake is essentially an enormous from-scratch version of the iconic American snack cake, with the vanilla flavor amplified and made with pronounceable ingredients. It’s golden and terrifically moist, and its cream-filled cross-section is an instant joy-inducer.

Do you have a recipe for making the marshmallow creme from scratch?
I have made this cake several times and it is always a hit! The technique for filling is not at all difficult. I have cut a trench in the cake while it is still in the pan(saving the cake scraps). Then I put the filling in the trench and trimming the cake scraps I reassemble the cake to cover the filling. By the time you flip it on to a cake plate- no one can see how I filled it. I have the Pure Vanilla cookbook by the author, everything I have made from it is delicious. This really does taste like the Twinkies I remember from my youth!!! Very YUMMY.as to the previous reviewer: How can you rate a recipe you've not made?
I would love to try making this cake but I'm discouraged by the method of how to fill it. It sounds so tricky. I love twinkies, especially the filing, but don't really eat those too much 'coz I'm worried of the preservatives that it contains. I might just still give this cake a go one of these days. :-)
