Cake:
1 box golden pound cake mix
4 egg whites, beaten until stiff
160 ml (2/3 cup) water
Filling:
80 ml (1/3 cup) shortening
10 ml (2 tsp) room-temperature butter
250 ml (1 cup) icing sugar
60 ml (1/4 cup) granulated white sugar
80 ml (1/3 cup) evaporated milk
5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla extract
2 drops lemon extract
Preheat oven to 325 F. Fold a piece of foil in half with the non-stick side out. Then fold in half again. Roll foil pieces around a spice bottle to form a tube. Fold down edges to seal, leaving one end of the tube open to be filled with the batter. Spray the insides with vegetable oil and set each tube open-end-up in a muffin tray.
Beat cake mix, whipped egg whites, and water on medium speed until completely blended, about 2 minutes. Carefully fill the foil tubes, leaving 3/4-inch headspace. Bake about 30 minutes until golden and toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
Let cakes cool, then remove foil. Use a toothpick to make 3 holes along the length of each cake. Wiggle the toothpick around the centre to make room for the filling.
Filling: Cream shortening and butter together in a medium bowl. With mixer running on medium speed, add powdered sugar and granulated sugar, a little at a time, until smooth. Add evaporated milk, vanilla and lemon extract. Continue mixing until fluffy.
Spoon filling into a pastry bag with a tip. Inject filling into each of the three holes in each cake, being careful not to overfill, and place on a serving platter or store in a covered container.
Makes 12.
