MOCK TWINKIES

Cake Ingredients

6 eggs, separated

1/2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 1/2 cups sugar

1/2 cup water

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/4 cups gluten-free flour mixture

1/8 tsp. salt

Filling Ingredients

6 Tbsp. gluten-free flour mixture

1 1/2 cups milk

12 Tbsp. (1 1/2 sticks) margarine, softened

3/4 cup Crisco

3 cups powdered sugar

3 1/2 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Beat egg whites with cream of tartar

until stiff. In a small saucepan, cook sugar and water until it

threads (this only takes a few minutes; watch it closely so it

doesn't start to crystallize). Pour sugar-water over egg whites

slowly, beating constantly. Beat egg yolks until thick, then add

vanilla. Fold in egg whites. Sift flour mixture and salt, then

carefully fold into egg white mixture. Pour into a greased 9 X 13

inch pan and bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in

center comes out clean. Cool cake on a wire rack for 10 minutes,

then invert cake onto a large bread board that has been covered with

waxed paper.

When cake is completely cool, using a serrated knife, cut the cake

in half horizontally. Combine the flour mixture and milk in a small

saucepan; cook until thickened, cool, then refrigerate until cold.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the margarine and Crisco. Gradually

add the powdered sugar, beating well, then add the vanilla. Divide

the flour/milk mixture into 4 sections; add 1 section at a time to

the margarine mixture, beating well after each addition. Spread

filling over 1 cut side of cake. Place second layer, cut side down,

on top of filling and press gently to secure in place. Cut the cake

into 24 (3 " X 1 1/2 " ) oblong pieces.
