Ingredients
Cake
To make these delicious Mexican wedding cake balls, you will need the following ingredients:
1 box of white or yellow cake mix
1 cup of water
1/3 cup of vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1 cup of shredded coconut
Frosting
1/2 cup of butter, softened
2 cups of powdered sugar
1 tsp of vanilla extract
1-2 tbsp of heavy cream or milk
Instructions
To make the cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the shredded coconut.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before proceeding.
To make the frosting:
In a separate mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
Add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined.
If the frosting is too thick, add in the heavy cream or milk, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
Crumble the cooled cake into the frosting and mix until well combined.
Assembly
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form the cake mixture into balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Melt some white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to package instructions.
Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully covered.
Place the coated cake balls back on the parchment paper and let them set in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes.
Once the chocolate has hardened, you can decorate the cake balls with some additional shredded coconut or sprinkles, if desired.
