Cake Pops (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 box white cake mix with needed ingredients (oil, eggs, milk).
02 -
1/2 cup butter, softened at room temperature.
03 -
1/4 cup vegetable oil.
04 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
05 -
3 1/2 cups melted candy or chocolate.
06 -
40 sticks for cake pops.
07 -
1 teaspoon milk.
08 -
1 cup powdered sugar.
09 -
1 small bag of sprinkles for topping.
# Instructions:
01 -
Follow cake mix directions, but also stir in an extra 1/4 cup oil. Bake as written.
02 -
Cool cake for about 15 minutes, crumble into tiny pieces in a big bowl.
03 -
Mix powdered sugar, milk, butter, and vanilla for 4 minutes until light and fluffy.
04 -
Stir 3/4 of the frosting into the crumbled cake. Add the rest if it needs more moisture.
05 -
Roll mixture into ball shapes. Refrigerate 10 minutes and re-roll to smooth them out.
06 -
Pop the balls in the freezer for 30 minutes or into the fridge for 1.5 hours.
07 -
Heat chocolate in short 20-second buzzes in the microwave, stirring after every time.
08 -
Dip the sticks in chocolate and push one into each ball.
09 -
Cover the balls in melted chocolate, shake off the extra, and sprinkle on decorations before it sets.
10 -
Place cake pops upright and let the chocolate dry completely.
# Notes:
01 -
Try making your own frosting—it’s tastier than store-bought.
02 -
Use candy melts instead of plain chocolate for easier coating.
03 -
Keep balls cold while working so they don’t fall off the sticks.
