Ingredients:
For the cake:
- 1 box of your favorite cake mix
- 1 cup of water
- 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
- 3 eggs
For the frosting:
- 1/4 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups of powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1-2 tablespoons of milk
For the cake pops:
- 1 package of candy melts or chocolate chips
- Cake pop sticks
- Sprinkles or other decorations
To get started, preheat your oven to 350 degrees and prepare a cake mix according to the instructions on the box. Once the cake is baked and cooled, crumble it into a large mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Then, add the frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until well combined.
Take small portions of the cake mixture and roll them into balls, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a lined baking sheet and freeze for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
While the cake balls are in the freezer, melt the candy melts or chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl. Dip the tip of a cake pop stick into the melted chocolate and insert it into the cake ball. This will help the cake ball to stay on the stick. Then, dip the entire cake ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
Now comes the fun part - decorating! While the chocolate is still wet, add sprinkles or any other decorations of your choice. You can also drizzle different colored chocolate on top for a more festive look.
Place the cake pops in a cake pop stand or a piece of Styrofoam to let the chocolate set. Once the chocolate is hardened, your cake pops are ready to be enjoyed! You can wrap them in clear cellophane bags and tie them with a ribbon for a cute and personalized gift.
In conclusion, this easy and delicious cake pop recipe is a great way to show your loved ones how much you care on Valentine's Day.
