Here's a recipe to the rescue!

No, I haven't tried it, but I fully expect some of our more talented pastry chefs here to give it a go!

Homemade Twinkie

1 cup cake flour
¾ cup sugar
1 tsp baking powder
3 eggs
¼ cup milk

Whisk together the dry ingredients. Add eggs and continue to whisk to combine (or use a hand or stand mixer). Add half the milk. If the batter is too thick, gradually add the rest of the milk until the batter is thick, but easily pourable. Divide batter into nine mini loaf pans. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for about 10 minutes and invert onto wire cooling racks. Cool completely.

To add filling (recipe follows), fill half a pastry bag & tip with the filling. Poke each loaf three times, squeezing out icing while pulling up and out. Stop pressure prior to pulling the tip out completely. If the cream overflows a little, use a butter knife/spatula to carefully scrape off.

For filling (a slightly doctored Epicurious recipe)
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup confectioners sugar
2 cups marshmallow cream such as Marshmallow Fluff
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-3 Tbsp. milk

Beat together all the ingredients in a bowl with electric mixer at medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes.

If you try it, please let us know. I suspect it will taste vastly better than the store-bought version, which is unavailable in the USA for now, anyway.

 
im tempted to do it!!!!

how bad could it turn out???>....no worse than if Kraft bought out Hostess..=). so one never knows. as a certain someone once said "you have to have the courage of your convictions" (spoken in a deep tipsy Julia Child voice=))
 
The best food is the stuff that you're not supposed to h

I'm a Butterscotch Krimpets man myself. But I'll always love that dark chocolate fondant with that little raised lassos of white jizz on top of that chocolate creme (not cream) -filled cupcake.

 

I have made many of these commercial snack-cakes myself and they do taste better than the real thing, but there's something wonderful about little tight packages wrapped in cellophane with those forbidden sweet treats inside. It's like being seduced by a wicked, shameless lover, who's going to dump you in the end and leave you trashed and holding the bag, but you wouldn't give up that 10 minutes of pleasure for anything.
