Cream Cake Dessert

The cake reminds me very much of a twinkie. If you are not a fan of frosting, this is the cake for you. I made it as written and would not change a thing.

I have been making this cake for several years. We have always called it Twinkie Cake. I also make it with chocolate cake mix, calling it Susie Q Cake. Cherry chip cake mix makes another wonderful cake (but no name). Very versatile recipe! The one tip I do have is to make sure you whisk the milk into the flour slowly, keeping it smooth. Then keep it stirred and cooking on med/low while thickening, as to not cause lumps.

This was very good. I added raspberries to the middle also and I think that kept them from falling off the cake! Family enjoyed it..will keep this recipe.

YUM - I made it exactly as written and it was so good. Not too sweet just right. No need to change a thing! Thanks Peggy

I think this could quite possibly be the best cake I have ever tasted!! It tastes exactly like a twinkie and is very soft and moist. I made mine into cupcakes (less baking time, around 20 mins or so). I then used a cupcake plunger to remove the middle of the cupcakes, put the filling into a pipping bag and filled the cupcakes with the filling. AMAZING! I made them for a new years party and everyone who tried them LOVED them! I bet the cupcakes would also be great with a not-too-sweet chocolate frosting on top! yum

I first saw this recipe years ago in one of my taste of home cook books,I made it my daughter loved it and we all enjoyed, made no changes, and the filling is terrific,have though for a few years used this filling for other recipes, we all loved this 7 of us here

I'm rating the frosting. It is fabulous. I mix the sugar in while the flour mixture is still warm. That way the sugar dissolves completely. And that way you can strain it through a sieve if you have any flour lumps. Make this frosting if nothing else. You could eat it up with a spoon without any cake. (of course I'd never do that) sure.

Fantastic recipe! The flavor is perfect, not too sweet but just right.

I made this for a family get-together over Labor Day. It was THE hit of the party! I had about 10 people beg me repeatedly for the recipe and said this cake was awesome! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!!!! By the way, I made the cake just as written....

I made this cake exactly as written, except for adding in a little sugar in the filling to counteract the strong vanilla taste. But that was just my preference! I ended up breaking up fresh raspberries and layering them in the filling between the layers of cake. It kept the raspberries in and tasted excellent! My family keeps begging me to make this again!

This cake tastes greasy, it's the filling.

For something that is so easy to make, it tastes like you spent forever in the kitchen! Whenever I make this, everyone raves about it! Fantastic recipe; definitely a keeper. Thanks!

This is an excellent recipe! Easy and delicious! I garnished with strawberries instead of raspberries...perfect summer picnic dessert. It was gone so quickly and everyone loved it. Some tips: After cooling on a wire rack and cutting in half, as directed, I used a hard plastic placemat to slide under the top half and remove it. After frosting and reassembling, I noticed the top layer was little uneven and scratched from cooling on the wire rack, so I dusted the top with powdered sugar...beautiful!

this cake and filling tastes JUST LIKE a twinkie! Its amazing =)
