Vanilla Cake Pop Recipe

I love these homemade easy cake pop recipes that kids and adults cannot resist and do not make a lot of messy cleanup.

You can easily add lollipop sticks to the frosted cake balls just before they set if you prefer or just pop’em in your mouth.

Either way they are great to customize with sprinkles, drizzles of chocolate or decorated with colors to match your event theme or holiday.

The real trick is to just have one of them as they are an irresistible, delicious vanilla cake treat.

Ingredients

• Cake Mix – white or yellow cake mix both work well in this recipe
• Butter – unsalted butter softened
• Sugar
• Vanilla
• Salt
• Milk
• Sprinkles – I used rainbow sprinkles you can use your favorite colorful sprinkles
• White Chocolate Chips – also use white candy melts

How To Make Vanilla Cake Balls

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the softened butter and sugar.  Cream until smooth. 
2. Add in the flour and dry cake mix.  Mix on low speed just until combined – it will be crumbly looking. 
3. Add in the vanilla, salt and milk.  Mix on low speed until the mixture combines.  You should be able to press it together and it forms a ball.  
4. Chill the dough for approximately 30 minutes. 
5. When ready to assemble, place the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments.  Stir well until smooth. 
6. Using a spoon, dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate and tap the excess off into the bowl.  Transfer the dipped cake ball to a sheet of parchment.  
7. Before the white chocolate sets, decorate with the sprinkles.  
8. Allow to set.
