Ok while I was looking for the mocha frosting, I found this.... wasnt even aware I had this.... anyway here it is....this sounds more like what I read on here somewhere.
Not really "twinkie filling" filling
1 C milk
1 C sugar (granulated)
1/2 C Crisco
1 tsp vanilla extract
5 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 C butter
Mix flour with milk in saucepan, boil until thick, pull from heat and cool. Once cooled, you should take a mixer and beat it until it's fluffy, usually about 10-15 minutes then, add the rest of the ingredients one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then spread filling between layers of cake.
(hint- the longer the flour mix is beaten the fluffier it will be!)
Well to go with the Not Really "Twinkie Filling" Filling, here's an Almost Twinkie Cake...

Thanks! Funny this post comes up because a coworker of mine was showing me the other day that it was the 75th anniversary of the twinkie and I told him I would have to work on making one...
That twinkie link you posted Lisa looks great! I just printed it out and I'm gonna try it next week. Thanks for the link!!
You're welcome...you know what might be funny is to make the cake in a loaf pan and then carve and ice it to look like a twinkie. You could use a damp sea sponge to get that spongey cake look.
I bet this recipe would be good as filled cupcakes too.
cool going to have to try this... I was bored and a bit hungry yesterday so I went to the commissary. they had those cake cups that are "dented" in the middle for strawberry shortcake (hopefully you know what I mean) and I bought those. They didnt have any strawberries though so I thought, since these cakes are very moist and great tasting, almost like the twinkie, I still bought them, made the not really twinkie filling filling, and stuck it on these cakes.... it tasted JUST LIKE the twinkie!
