Make this Twinkie cake for a delicious way to celebrate!

homemade twinkie cake sliced open on a cake plate

Were you a fan of Twinkies as a child?

There’s something so nostalgic and classic about that soft sponge cake with sweet creaming filling! Here’s how you can create your very own homemade giant Twinkie using a bundt cake pan. It’s a fun and fairly simple cake to bake at home and would make a great birthday cake or special occasion treat!

This Twinkie-inspired dessert is a moist vanilla pound cake with a creamy marshmallow filling that’s over the top delicious!

Hip Tips for this giant Twinkie cake:

  • Don’t want to buy cake flour? DIY your own! For each cup of cake flour called for in your recipe, first, pour 2 tablespoons of cornstarch into the measuring cup. Then fill the rest of the cup with sifted all-purpose flour. Replacing some of the flour with cornstarch will produce a softer cake texture.
  • Now’s your chance to use your bundt cake pan! This yields a large cake, so make sure to have a large 12-cup bundt cake pan.
  • Let your cake onlinepletely cool. I actually was a little impatient and added my marshmallow cream filling while my cake was still a tad warm, and it melted a little. It was still very delicious, but I bet it would have looked more twinkie-ish if I waited a little longer.
  • If you’re avoiding sugar, try using a sugar substitute like stevia or Swerve! You can also substitute coconut oil for vegetable oil instead.
  • Don’t have time to enjoy it at all? This cake can be frozen! Slice it up, wrap tightly with plastic wrap, seal slices in freezer zip top bags, and preserve in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to eat, let the slices thaw on the counter for an hour.

We loved this ultimate Twinkie-inspired cake!

My kids were super impressed, and my favorite part was the awesome buttery filling. I could eat that out of the bowl. LOL, my advice is to make sure you have a crowd of people eating this, or else you’ll want the entire thing for yourself! Ha!

  1. Paisley

    This looks delish! I just can’t handle all of the sugar in this recipe. I may give it a try using a sugar substitute like stevia 😋

    • tipaye

      It’s the same thing…

    • sne3103

      Great, thank you!

      • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

        Sure – enjoy!

  2. sne3103

    Can I use marshmallow fluff instead? I already have some at home..

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yes! Perfect 👌

      • Julie

        I made this just now Lina and it is terrific will be making again

        • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

          Oh yay! I’m so glad Julie!

    • Ann3366

      Marshmallow cream and Marshmallow fluff are the same thing. 😁

  3. Erika

    I have a recipe using a bundt pan where you carefully cut the top off, hollow out the inside just leaving walls, and fill it with a mixture of the scooped out cake, condensed milk and strawberries. You then replace the top and frost with cool whip. Very rich, but very good.

  4. Mom2boys

    I so loved Twinkies back in the day! This would be so fun when my high school friends and I get together! Thanks so much!!! I bet chocolate cake filled and topped with chocolate ganache would be like a Swiss roll too…..I may just have to try both!💕

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yes! That sounds yummy too!

  5. Kathryn Saldana

    I don’t understand how scooping cake out BETWEEN the holes would make the center be empty?

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      That’s how filling would be in each slice between spaces of the holes. You could skip that part but then may not get filling in each slice when you serve it.

      • Lynn

        Just wondered why you didn’t tunnel the whole cake out around, instead of scooping then tunneling between?

  6. Sarah

    Can you substitute the coconut oil for another type.

  7. Sharon Christianson

    So good but very rich! I did use a box yellow cake mix and doctored it up. Definitely a keeper. Thank you for sharing!

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yay!! That’s so great! Thanks Sharon!

  8. PrincessMom

    I just can’t do the open bottom cake, lol, the mess would drive me crazy! I think I’m going to try this as cupcakes and just make a core from the top then fill them so it overflows onto the top like frosting…

    • Jackie

      You could also slice this in half (like slicing a bagel) and do the filling that way. I think that would be a little easier and less messy.

  9. Mb

    Hi. Could you bake the cake in regular 8inch pans? And if so, do you have a reonlinemended bake time?

    • Lina D (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Since it’s a little more shallow of a pan I would start checking after 40 minutes.

  10. Mb

    Thank you!
