If they look delicious, it's because they are
Cake balls are pretty amazing, and they are completely easy (and fun!) to make. They’re great to bring to a party since they’re small, portable finger food, and they are sure to impress despite their simplicity! Plus, there’s endless combinations of flavors to try!
Chocolate coating outside, cakey goodness inside
Here are all of the ingredients, plus some escape artist tulips:
1 box cake mix, 1 can frosting, 1 bag of chocolate chips
I’ve made the traditional yellow cake/chocolate coating before, but this time I wanted to try lemon cake, so I went with white chocolate chips and white frosting. I figured lemon frosting would be too lemony, but now I’m thinking there’s no such thing. And, okay, this picture is maybe a little misleading because, depending on your cake mix, you’ll probably also need an egg and/or some vegetable oil and water. Details. Besides, you have those lying around your house anyway just waiting to be put into a cake.
So, Step One: Make the cake
Ta-Dah!
It doesn’t matter what shape or size pan you use, since the next step is to wait till it cools and then
Step Two: WRECK THE CAKE
This is by far my favorite part
That’s right, get in there and smash that cake up! I usually crumble it into a very large bowl. It’s super fun just grabbing whole hunks of cake and crushing them into tiny pieces! Once that’s done it will probs look like this:
Make sure you start with a big enough bowl! I had to switch mine out
Now you’re ready for Step Three: Stir in the Frosting!
Frosting is serious business
