Easy Homemade Twinkies Recipe: Better Than Store-Bought!

Ingredients

• 4 eggs eggs
• 0.5 cup butter, melted and cooled to lukewarm
• 1 (18.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix
• 1 cup water
• 1 (5.1 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding mix
• 5 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
• 0.5 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 10x15-inch jelly roll pans to prevent sticking.
2. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs until well combined. Stir in ½ cup of melted butter. Add the cake mix, water, and pudding mix, mixing thoroughly until the batter is thick and smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared baking pans.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the cake springs back lightly when touched or a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on wire racks.
4. In a large bowl, beat together the confectioners' sugar, cream cheese, and ½ cup of butter until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping and vanilla extract until well combined.
5. Spread the filling evenly over one cooled cake layer. Top with the remaining cooled cake layer. Cut into individual bars and wrap each bar tightly in plastic wrap. Store in the freezer for best results.
