How to Make Chocolate Twinkie Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) of softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon baking soda.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. Once cooled, frost with your favorite chocolate frosting (recipe not included).
  10. Cut into squares and enjoy!
