Originally produced by Dolly Madison Bakery, Zingers have been a favorite snack cake since the 1970s. Available in chocolate, vanilla, and raspberry, the snack cakes feature tender cake filled with cream and topped with either frosting or coconut.
Making your own Zingers at home is fairly straight-forward and delicious!
Start off by greasing a Twinkies pan. You can get one at Amazon.

Next, whip up your cake by mixing together a yellow cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and a vanilla pudding mix. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by whipping together butter, shortening, vanilla extract, salt, powdered sugar, and marshmallow fluff.
Once the cakes are cooled, fill with the filling.
Prepare the coating by mixing together raspberry jello mix and boiling water. Let chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Dip the cakes in the raspberry jello mixture then roll in coconut. Serve.
