Description
These festive cake balls transform a simple yellow cake into dense, fudgy truffles coated in a crisp white chocolate shell. Packed with rainbow sprinkles, they offer a delightful snap and a rich, melt-in-your-mouth interior that is perfect for any celebration.
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz Yellow Cake Mix
- 1 cup + 2 tbsp Buttercream Frosting
- 12 oz White Chocolate Melting Disks
- 1 ½ cups Rainbow Jimmies
Instructions
- Bake the yellow cake according to package directions and let it cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
- Mix in the buttercream frosting and 1/2 cup of rainbow jimmies until the mixture reaches a dough-like consistency.
- Roll the mixture into 1-tablespoon sized balls and place them on a baking sheet.
- Freeze the cake balls for 60 minutes to ensure they stay intact during dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Dip each frozen ball into the chocolate using a fork, tapping off any excess.
- Place on parchment paper, drizzle with extra chocolate, and top with remaining sprinkles before the coating sets.
Notes
To ensure a perfectly smooth finish, allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly so it is not piping hot when dipping the frozen centers. If the cake mixture feels too dry to roll, add an extra tablespoon of frosting at a time until it holds its shape. These treats store beautifully in the refrigerator for up to a week or in the freezer for a quick sweet snack later.
