Tasty Thursday: Easy Peasy Cake {Pop} Balls
These are like little pieces of heaven. If you have not had a cake ball, you are MISSING OUT. But now you can make them yourself. Here’s the I-want-a-cake-ball-but-I-don’t-have-time-to-be-domestic version.
Ingredients:
Box of Cake Mix
{I prefer Red Velvet. You will too. But you can use any mix you want.}
Whatever it says on the box to make the cake.
Can of Cream Cheese Frosting
{Again, this goes with the red velvet, so you can use another kind of frosting if you’d rather.}
Chocolate Melts
{and White Chocolate Melts, if you wanna be fancy}
Directions:
1. Make and bake the cake.
2. Let cake cool, then break up into pieces and stick it in your food processor {or a blender}.
3. Let the food processor work it’s magic, breaking up the cake into crumbs.
4. Empty the can of cream cheese frosting into a bowl that is filled with the cake crumbs. Mix WELL.
5. Form mixture into balls.
6. Melt the chocolate in the microwave {in a microwave safe bowl – I do 30 seconds, stir, 30 seconds, stir, etc. until they are melted}.
7. Using a spoon, dip the balls in the melted chocolate and place on wax paper to dry.
8. {Fancy-Pants Option} Melt white chocolate and drizzle over dipped cake balls {forks work best for drizzling!}.
9. Eat as many as you can before your husband comes home. But you didn’t hear that from me.
I suppose you could bake the cake from scratch and make your own frosting, but really, who has time for that? This is the quick version. Enjoy!!
