Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Prepare cake batter. Using a mixer on medium speed, blend together cake mix, eggs, water, and cooking oil until just slightly lumpy.
- Pour batter into a bundt pan. Coat the pan with baking spray (that contains flour) or grease it lightly and sprinkle with flour.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes. Cook time may vary depending on your pan. When the top of the cake starts to firm up, insert a toothpick into the center. Remove the cake when the toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool cake. Let the bundt cake cool completely.
- Poke hole for filling. Once the cake is cooled, keep it in the pan and poke holes almost all the way to the bottom (which will be the top of the cake). Move your finger side to side to widen the cavity for more frosting. Poke holes about 1 1/2 inches apart.
- Add frosting. Fill a sandwich bag with the marshmallow frosting. Cut a small tip off one corner of the bag. Seal the bag and squeeze it to fill each hole with frosting. Try to get the tip deep into each hole for plenty of filling.
- Remove cake from bundt pan. Use a tiny spatula or butter knife to carefully loosen the cake from the sides of the bundt pan. Place a flat plate or cake stand upside down on top of the pan. Turn both the pan and plate over and let gravity help. Lift the bundt pan away slowly to ensure the cake drops evenly onto the plate.
- Add powdered sugar. Top with a sprinkle of powdered sugar for a festive touch.

Tips to Make Twinkie Bundt Cake
- Use room temperature eggs for a better batter consistency.
- Grease the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Don’t overmix the batter; it’s okay if it is a little lumpy.
- For extra decoration, drizzle some chocolate sauce or additional frosting over the top.
Variation
You can add in chocolate chips or sprinkles to the cake batter for an added touch of fun. Another option is to make a chocolate version by using chocolate cake mix instead of yellow cake.
