Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square pan. (5 minutes)

02

Step

Crumble 4 toaster pastries into a bowl and mix in melted butter; press into the prepared pan, creating a crust. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon milk in a bowl; spread evenly over the crust. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a mixing bowl, beat 1/2 cup brown sugar, softened butter, and white sugar together until light and fluffy. Add egg yolk and vanilla extract; mix well. (8 minutes)

05

Step

In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup flour, baking powder, and salt. Whisk together 3/4 cup milk and vinegar in another bowl. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Gradually mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk-vinegar mixture, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the egg whites until just incorporated. Crumble 1 toaster pastry over the batter and gently fold in. (10 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the batter over the prepared crust. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 45 to 50 minutes. (50 minutes)

08

Step

Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack, at least 1 hour. (60 minutes)

09

Step

Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top. Crumble the remaining 1 toaster pastry over the frosting for a final touch. (10 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the crust.
Feel free to experiment with different Pop-Tart flavors!
Ensure your butter and egg are at room temperature for optimal mixing.

    I was skeptical at first, but this cake is surprisingly delicious! The Pop-Tart crust is genius.

  • Rashawn Vandervort

    My kids absolutely adore this cake. It's become a regular treat in our house.

  • Vladimir Pfefferhoeger

    The frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, so I used a homemade cream cheese frosting with less sugar.

  • Hellen Bosco

    I tried it with strawberry Pop-Tarts and it was amazing! Thanks for the inspiration.

    Easy to follow recipe and the cake turned out perfectly! Will definitely make again.

  • Aubrey Wolf

    The cake was a little dry, so I added a bit more butter to the batter. It turned out much better.

  • Florence Bailey

    I didn't have Pop-Tarts on hand, so I used crushed graham crackers for the crust. It still worked well!
