Twinks Recipe
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Vanilla Cream
- Heat the oven to 325 degrees F and arrange a rack in the middle.
- Butter and flour the wells of the baking pan; set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, beat egg yolks on medium speed, adding sugar a little at a time, until mixture is thick and light in color, about 5 minutes.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk egg whites until medium peaks form.
- Fold whites into yolk mixture until well incorporated.
- Sift flour and baking powder into batter, and fold just until incorporated.
- Mix in vanilla extract.
- Divide batter evenly among the baking pan wells and bake until cakes spring back when touched, a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and cakes are golden brown, about 20 to 22 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes; then loosen from the sides by running a knife along the edge of the pan.
- Invert onto a rack, remove cakes, and cool completely.
- Once cakes are cool, flip each over, and with a straw or the end of a spoon make three incisions running the length of the cake.
- Scoop into a pastry bag fitted with a medium-size plain tip (or snip the corner off of a small plastic bag).
- Place the tip into each incision, and press cream into the incisions until full.
- When cakes are completely full, turn them back over and serve.
