Ingredients
For the cake:
- Flour for dusting
- Softened butter for coating the pan
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ½ cup canola oil
- 3 eggs
- 3 tsp red gel food coloring
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
To decorate:
- ¾ cup vanilla frosting
- 2.5 cups white candy melts or white chocolate
- 2 tsp coconut oil
- Red sprinkles
Instructions
To make the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch circle pans with softened butter then coat it with flour. Set aside.
- In a bowl, mix together chocolate cake mix, buttermilk, oil and eggs. Continue mixing until all ingredients are combined.
- Add cocoa powder and continue mixing. Then, add red gel food coloring and continue mixing.
- Pour batter into each pan and bake for 25-28 minutes. Remove from pan and allow for the cakes to cool on a wire rack.
To decorate:
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, crumble your cake into fine bits. Then, add vanilla frosting and mix (you’ll have to get messy and use your hands for this).
- Roll the cake into spheres about 1 to 1.5 inches in size. Place gently on lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Once time is up, microwave white chocolate and coconut oil in 30-second intervals until completely melted. Stir with a spoon between each interval.
- Dip each sphere into the melted chocolate and coat completely. Place back onto lined sheet and top with red sprinkles.
- Place back into refrigerator for another 20 to 30 minutes and serve. Enjoy!
