# What You'll Need:

→ Cake

01 - 1 cup all-purpose flour
02 - 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
03 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
04 - 4 large eggs, room temperature
05 - 2/3 cup granulated sugar
06 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 2 tablespoons whole milk
08 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

→ Filling

09 - 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
10 - 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
11 - 1 cup powdered sugar
12 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
13 - 1 tablespoon heavy cream

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a Twinkie or mini loaf pan and set aside.
02 - Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl.
03 - Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar on high speed until thick and pale, approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
04 - Add vanilla extract to the egg mixture. Gradually fold in the sifted dry ingredients in batches, taking care not to deflate the batter.
05 - Combine warm milk with melted butter, then gently fold into the batter until just incorporated.
06 - Fill molds three-quarters full with batter. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
07 - Allow cakes to cool completely before removing from pans.
08 - Beat softened butter until fluffy. Add marshmallow creme, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Beat until smooth.
09 - Using a piping bag with a small round tip, poke three small holes in the bottom of each cake and fill with the marshmallow cream.
10 - Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Ensure eggs are at room temperature for optimal batter volume.
