Homemade Twinkies With Coconut Whipped Cream Filling
[Vegan]

To Make the Cake:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease mini loaf pan or Twinkie pan and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda, set aside. In a large bowl, beat together the coconut oil, vanilla extract and granulated sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Once ingredients are creamy and beaten together, add in the flour mixture, as well as the apple cider vinegar and almond milk. Beat until ingredients are smooth and combined.
3. Pour the batter into each well of the pan, distributing evenly.
4. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cake springs back with lightly touched or knife comes out clean when inserted into the middle of the cake. Set aside and allow to cool before filling.

To Make the Coconut Whipped Cream Filling:

1. In a large bowl, place the solid coconut milk that has been chilled, Make sure you are using just the solid part after the milk has been chilled (refer to the link to Angela's tutorial for a step by step process). Whip the coconut milk solid with a hand mixer or stand mixer until it becomes fluffy and airy, add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, continue whipping until combined throughout. Store in the refrigerator until cakes are ready to be filled.

To Fill the Twinkie Cakes:

1. Once Twinkies are cooled, Place the coconut whipped cream in a squeeze bottle fitted with a tip or a pastry bag fitted with a metal tip. Fill the cakes from the bottom, making about 5 holes which go about 1/2 through the depth of each cake.
2. Store in the refrigerator.
