# Corner Store Cake Recipes This Vanilla Cake Recipe is Made with Layered Twinkies By M | Published 2013-06-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-cake References: [confessionsofacookbookqueen](http://www.confessionsofacookbookqueen.com/2013/06/twinkie-layer-cake/) For your next vanilla cake baking adventure, why not try something different and transform a mundane vanilla cake recipe into a Twinkie layered cake? Better yet, this Twinkie cake is packed with Twinkie flavor without all the chemicals and calories of the nostalgic packaged desert. Blogger Kristan of Confessions of a Cookbook Queen has created a cake recipe inspired by the notoriously popular fluffy, fried and delicious [cream-filled pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hostess-products). Kristan combines a conventional box of [vanilla cake mix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/strawberry-cake-mix) to simulate the Twinkie's spongy dough and uses [vanilla pudding](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pudding-pie-filling), marshmallow cream and powdered sugar to replicate the creamy Twinkie filling. The recipe then essentially follows a standard cake baking recipe, and the finished product will taste like a bona fide giant Twinkie cake. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Twinkie-inspired Desserts:** Incorporate Twinkie flavors and textures into traditional desserts for a nostalgic twist. - **Box Mix Hacks:** Revamp box mixes with unconventional ingredients for unique and easy-to-make desserts. - **Homemade Convenience Foods:** Create homemade versions of popular packaged foods for a healthier and customizable option. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Baking and Pastry:** Explore new and unique flavor combinations in baking and pastry for innovative and creative desserts. - **Food Blogging and Influencing:** Create and share original and innovative recipes for a growing online audience. - **Health and Wellness:** Provide healthier and customizable alternatives to popular convenience and packaged foods for health-conscious consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Extra-Chocolatey Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-lovers-twinkies.md) - [Remixed Mashup Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ding-dongs-x-twinkies-mashups.md) - [Snack Cake Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hostess-twinkies-candy.md) - [Sprinkle Cake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/funfetti-celebrations-cake-mix.md) - [Baking-Ready Snack Cake Wafers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hostess-candy-wafers.md) - [Versatile Yellow Cake Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellow-cake-baking-mix.md) - [Tropically Inspired Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tropical-blast-twinkies.md) - [Cryptocurrency-Inspired Snack Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twinkcoin-snack-cakes.md) - [Snack Cake-Flavored Candy Canes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twinkies-candy-canes.md)
