Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box vanilla cake mix (15.25 ounces)
- 4 tablespoons salted butter (softened)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon heavy cream (or milk)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 cake pop sticks
- 12 ounces white chocolate
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the cake mix by following the box instructions and bake in a greased rectangular pan at 350°F (175°C) for about 25-30 minutes. Let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into a large mixing bowl until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the softened butter and powdered sugar into the crumbled cake and mix until it forms a dough-like consistency.
- Flavor the mixture with heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a lined baking sheet. Chill in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Dip the tip of each pop stick in the melted chocolate, then insert it into the center of each ball.
- Dip each cake pop fully into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Add sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Stick the pops upright in Styrofoam or a cake pop stand to set.
- Let them sit until the chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes.
Notes
Cake pops can be customized with different flavors or chocolate types. They can also be served as cake balls without sticks.
