Surprising Stuffed Food!
A few weeks ago I came across a recipe for “Twinkie Tunnel Cake” and was intrigued. If you have not already figured it out, this is a chocolate bundt cake with…you guessed it…TWINKIES stuffed inside! I just had to try this thing out. I did something I never thought I would do, I bought a box of Twinkies. The cake turned out ok, but not something I would make over and over again. The idea was fun though and my co-workers got a kick out of it.
Just yesterday I found yet another recipe with something stuffed inside. What do you get when you combine cupcakes and cookie dough? Cookie dough stuffed cupcakes! Again, a recipe that I couldn’t resist trying. This recipe comes from the Cake Mix Doctor so I felt justified in making it since it wasn’t a waste of a lot of butter, flour, sugar, etc…just a cake mix. Once they came out of the oven I had to rip one of those puppies open and expose the cookie dough! There it was. A little bit of gooey cookie surrounded by moist yellow cake. Adorable! I frosted them with chocolate buttercream as recommended and brought them to work today. Much to my dismay the cookie dough inside some of the cupcakes deflated somehow leaving an empty cave inside the cupcake the walls of which were covered in not so delicious cookie dough goo. The adorableness of these cupcakes has been lost…but the wonder remains. Food with food stuffed inside…amazing.
