Episode Guide
Bon Appétit's Senior Food Editor and pastry chef Claire Saffitz attempts to craft a gourmet Twinkie without the hard-to-pronounce chemical ingredients. The opening test centers on Genoise cake, an Italian sponge cake. For the creamy filling, she uses 7 minute frosting. The next experiment pairs yellow cake with buttercream filling. Then comes chiffon cake, a light cake that uses vegetable oil. Finally, with assistance from Test Kitchen Manager Brad Leone, Claire decides to Frankenstein the recipe.
