How to Make Mock Twinkies

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) yellow cake mix, 1/2 cup diet lemon-lime soda, and 2 large egg whites.
Beat with an electric mixer for 2 minutes, until well combined and smooth.
Line two 12-cup muffin tins with paper liners.
Fill each liner ⅔ full with the cake batter.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the muffin tins for 10 minutes.
Carefully remove cupcakes to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once completely cool, prepare your vanilla pudding filling (see instructions below).
Transfer the pudding to a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
Pipe the filling into the center of each cupcake.
Store in the refrigerator. (Best enjoyed within 3 days)
