Cake Balls (Cake Truffles)
Description
The process begins by baking a yellow cake and allowing it to cool completely before crumbling into fine pieces. These crumbs are mixed thoroughly with buttercream frosting and part of the sprinkles to form a moist, moldable dough. The mixture is rolled into tablespoonsized balls and chilled in the freezer to firm up.
After chilling, each ball is dipped into melted white chocolate, which hardens quickly to form a crisp outer layer. An additional drizzle of white chocolate and a sprinkle of colorful jimmies decorate and add slight crunch and visual appeal. The contrast between the soft, dense cake center and the smooth chocolate coating creates a pleasant texture.
These cake balls make for portable treats suitable for parties or snacks and can be made ahead thanks to the freezer step. The use of white chocolate and sprinkles provides a classic sweet flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 1 yellow cake mix , (15.25 oz)
- 18 tablespoons buttercream frosting , (18 tablespoons is easier measured as 1 cup and 2 tbsp)
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting disks
- 1 cup rainbow jimmies
Instructions
- Bake the cake as directed on the package and let cool completely before crumbling and mixing with the frosting and 1/2 cup of the sprinkles until fully combined.
