I made this for my sisters birthday, we are from the Philly area but now live over 1,000 miles away and can't get much beloved Tastykakes. Krimpets have always been her favorite and she was very surprised by the cake. It got her thumbs up and it gets mine too. I don't think you could make anything yourself that would be closer to the real thing! Excellent!

I knew it was the real copy cat when the aroma escaped from the oven! I modified the recipe by adding the yolks in after mixing the whites with the cake mix. And I doubled the frosting -- it was sooooo decadent!! I also decorated the top with leftover morsels. Better than best!!!
