Instructions
- Prepare cake according to package directions for a 13x9 baking dish. Allow to cool slightly.
- Dump cake into a bowl, and crumble with your hands. Mix in the 1 cup of canned frosting.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, roll cake in to 1 1/2-2 inch sized balls. Repeat with remaining cake.
- Freeze cake ball for one hour.
- When ready to dip, melt white chocolate according to package directions. Using a toothpick, press into cake ball and dunk in white chocolate. Tap on side of bowl to remove excess. Slide off of toothpick (using a second toothpick) and drop onto parchment paper. Repeat for remaining cake balls.
- Drizzle with melted dark chocolate and immediately add sprinkles, if desired.
- Store in airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to eat, up to 3 days for best flavor!
Notes
- Substitutions for cake mix: If you prefer, you can use a homemade red velvet cake instead.
- Red velvet substitute: Swap the red velvet mix for spice mix, vanilla or chocolate cake if preferred.
- Frosting substitutes: Vanilla frosting can be used in this recipe if desired. I find that chocolate frosting overwhelms the subtle cocoa flavor of the red velvet cake, so if you want to use chocolate frosting, use chocolate or white cake mix!
- Make ahead option: Prepare the cake ball spheres in advance, then store in the freezer until you’re ready to dip in chocolate (up to a week). Once solid, transfer to a freezer safe container to keep them fresh.
- Measure the frosting: An entire can of frosting is too much. Be sure to use only a cup–just enough to moisten the cake so the balls stay together.
- Variation: Try this twist on the recipe for Spooky Eyeball Cake Balls for a fun Halloween treat.
