Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° degrees Fahrenheit. Butter and line the bottom of an 8-inch cake pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat 2 large eggs, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract together until light and creamy.
- Sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder, stir in ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and mix with a whisk to distribute evenly. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until incorporated.
- Microwave ½ cup milk and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a heatproof bowl or glass measuring cup for 40-60 seconds until the butter is completely melted. Add 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and stir to mix. Add the warm liquid to the mixing bowl and stir until completely smooth.
- Transfer the cake batter into the cake pan and bake in the middle oven rack for about 32 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean with just a few crumbs attached.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 - 15 minutes before removing the cake from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- When the cake is completely cool, make the frosting. Add softened 4 ounces cream cheese and 2 ounces unsalted butter to a medium mixing bowl and beat with the balloon whip until creamy. Add 6 tablespoons powdered sugar, and ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract. Stir to incorporate, then turn the mixer on high speed and beat until the frosting is fluffy.
- Crumble up the cake and add it to the frosting. Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment and mix until completely incorporated. The mixture should look like cookie dough.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the cake mixture and roll it into balls. This will make about 24 cake balls. Put the cake balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
- Melt 12 ounces chocolate melting wafers in a heatproof bowl over a simmering pot of water. Dip one end of a lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and push it in the middle of a cake ball. Dip the cake ball into the melted chocolate to cover completely. Allow excess chocolate to run off and back into the bowl.
- Add sprinkles over the chocolate coating before it dries completely. Allow the cake pop to dry by sticking the end of the lollipop stick into a foam block or setting the cake pop on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
