You may remember Chef Bryan from KUTV (channel 2) asking about me on our TV spot on Monday about using other cake mixes with the Twinkie Surprise Cupcakes using squash…especially chocolate. Well the second he said that I knew I had to try it since my FAVORITE chocolate combo is raspberry and chocolate! AND OH MY GOODNESS!!!! It is DIVINE! It tastes completely GOURMET and like it is from an expensive cake shop. I love it! It’s easy, uses food storage, things from the garden, and tastes like a million bucks! JUST HOW I LIKE IT!
I did everything the same (click HERE to get the original recipe and see the inspiration from Chef Bryan on TV) except used a Devil’s Food Cake mix. You could make them as cupcakes and put the raspberry jam inside or make two 9 inch cakes and put raspberry in the middle. To put the raspberry in the middle of two cakes, mix about 1/2 C. – 3/4 C. jam with about 1/4 C. – 1/2 C. chocolate frosting to thicken it up so it doesn’t make the cake soggy and frost the exterior of the cake with the remaining chocolate frosting. To really dazzle it up, put fresh raspberries in the middle of the cake and dust with powdered sugar!

That looks so good! Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to try that one too.

So I made your twinkie surprise and loved it! Also- I forget the eggs and you’d never know! Like applesauce, squash puree must bind like eggs. Additionally, I replaced the sour cream and water with butter milk and that give the cake lift! Turns out that no one is missing eggs in my house.
THANKS-love your blog
