You will need a spice bottle (approximately the size of a Twinkie), ten 12 x 14-inch pieces of aluminum foil, a cake decorator or pastry bag, and a toothpick.
Serving: Makes 10 Prep Time: 60 minutes Cook Time: 30 minutes Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
INGREDIENTS: Cake Nonstick spray 4 egg whites One 16-ounce box golden pound cake mix 1/3 cup water
Filling 2 teaspoons very hot water rounded 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 cups marshmallow creme (one 7-ounce jar) 1/2 cup shortening 1/3 cup powdered sugar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat the oven to 325° F.
2. Fold each piece of aluminum foil in half twice. Wrap the folded foil around the spice bottle to create a mold. Leave the top of the mold open for pouring in the batter. Make ten of these molds and arrange them on a cookie sheet or in a shallow pan. Grease the inside of each mold with a light coating of nonstick spray.
3. Disregard the directions on the box of cake mix. Instead, beat the egg whites until stiff. In a separate bowl combine cake mix with water, and beat until throroughly blended (about 2 minutes). Fold egg whites into cake batter, and slowly combine until completely mixed.
4. Pour the batter into the molds, filling each one about 3/4 inch. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean.
5. For the filling, combine the salt with the hot water in a small bowl and stir until salt is dissolved. Let this mixture cool.
6. Combine the marshmallow creme, shortening, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl and mix well with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy.
7. Add the salt solution to the filling mixture and combine.
8. When the cakes are done and cooled, use a toothpick to make three small holes in the bottom of each one. Move the toothpick around the inside of each cake to create space for the filling.
9. Using a cake decorator or pastry bag, inject each cake with filling through all three holes.
