Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and baking soda. Stir together to combine, then set the bowl aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar together until they are creamy. Add in the eggs, vanilla, and lemon juice and mix to combine.
- Add in the flour mixture and the milk, alternating, in two additions, mixing until they are well combined with the sugar mixture.
- Add in the food coloring, mixing on medium speed until the color is evenly distributed. You may add in an additional teaspoon of color, until it reaches your desired color.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 28-30 minutes. Once the cake springs back when touched on top, remove from the oven and cool on a baking rack.
- Once the cake has cooled, break into pieces and crumble. The crumble should be fine pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the crumble with the frosting. Combined, the mixture should hold together when pressed together.
- Using a spoon or scoop, roll spoonfuls of the cake mixture into tight ball shapes. Repeat until all of the cake mixture is used.
- Place the balls into the bowl, and place in the freezer for about thirty minutes.
- Once the cake balls have had time to become firm in the freezer, melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and, using a spoon or fork, cover the bite completely before removing. Place the dipped bites onto parchment paper and let cool to have the chocolate set.
- Melt the red candy melts in the microwave. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the set truffles and let set before serving.
