Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Delicious Golden Pound Cake Twinkles.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). While the oven warms up, take a moment to grease two 12-cup ladyfinger or canoe cake pans to ensure your cakes slide out easily after baking.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and white sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect texture! Next, add in the eggs one at a time, along with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Gradually incorporate this dry mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. This will help create a smooth and creamy batter that’s just begging to be baked!
Step 4
Once your batter is ready, spoon it into the prepared cake pans, filling them evenly. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cakes are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The aroma will be irresistible!
Step 5
After baking, let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes before carefully turning them out onto wire racks to cool completely. Patience is key here; the cooling process helps the flavors develop beautifully!
Step 6
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling. In a small bowl, dissolve 1/4 teaspoon of salt in the hot water and set it aside. In another bowl, mix together the marshmallow creme, vegetable shortening, confectioners' sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Beat this mixture with an electric mixer on high until it becomes fluffy and delightful.
Step 7
Finally, beat the salt solution into the filling for an extra touch of flavor. Once your cakes are completely cool, pipe the fluffy filling into the center of each cake. The result? A sweet surprise that will make every bite a joy!
