Cake Truffles
Servings 24 +/-
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 box Yellow cake mix (or flavor of your choice), prepared per box instructions
- Eggs, water, and oil, as called for on the cake mix box
- 1 cup canned vanilla frosting (or flavor of your choice), more if needed
- ½ (10 oz bag) Dark chocolate melting wafers
- ½ (10 oz bag) White chocolate melting wafers
- ¼ cup sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven according to the cake mix instructions. Prepare the cake mix with the amount of water, oil, and eggs according to the box directions.
- Pour into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish and bake as directed on the cake mix instructions. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Break apart the cake with fingers or forks until fine crumbs form.
- Add the frosting and stir until combined, and the mixture is moist and soft but not sticky.
- Use a tablespoon cookie scoop to make balls, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least one hour.
- Melt the candy melts in a microwave, heating for 30-second increments, then stirring until completely smooth.
- Place each cake truffle on a fork and use a spoon to pour the melted chocolate over it. Tap gently against the side of the bowl to remove excess melted chocolate.
- Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet, then add sprinkles on top of each truffle immediately as the chocolate cools and hardens quickly.
- Store sealed in the refrigerator until needed. The cake truffles will last in the fridge for 5-7 days. Enjoy!
