A light vanilla sponge cake filled with a creamy center, baked as finger-sized bars and assembled into classic Twinkie-style treats.

  • Total Time: 32 mins
  • Yield: 12 bars 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line a 9×13 inch pan with parchment.
  2. Whisk flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a bowl. In another bowl whisk eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until smooth. Spread evenly in the pan.
  3. Bake 12-14 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
  4. Cut into 12 slender rectangles (about 4×1 inch). Pipe or spread a line of cream filling on one side and place another rectangle on top to create a sandwich. Dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Tip: For a lighter texture, whisk eggs well or whip whites separately and fold in.
  • Storage: Refrigerate filled Twinkies 2 days for best texture.
  • Make ahead: Bake sponge a day ahead and fill just before serving.
