I love cake balls. I don't quite remember where I first heard about them, but I love mixing my ice cream and cake together and this is that same taste. Yum. I made a bunch for book club last week and so documented the process for all of you.
First you bake the cake. Just like normal from the package.
Then you break the cake up into a bowl
Next put 3/4 to a full can of frosting in it. And mix it up with your hands until the frosting is all mixed in. This is easier to do if your frosting is a different color than your cake. Because the color of the frosting will get completely absorbed in the color of the cake.
All mixed in
Take that frosting/cake concoction and roll them into balls and place on a cookie sheet. I found that if your hands are a little bit wet they won't stick to your hands too much. Or you can use a little cookie scoop if you have one.
Then stick in your freezer until frozen.
You can also dip them in chocolate if you so desire. I do sometimes and not others.
This was a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, but I have also done these flavors together.
My favorite- chocolate cake (with peanut butter instead of oil in the cake) with vanilla frosting mixed with 1 cup peanut butter. Can I say chocolate and peanut butter are the most amazing things ever?!!?? (I would recommend creamy not chunky peanut butter however.)
Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting
Party cake with vanilla frosting- coated with white chocolate
Cherry Chip cake with Cherry frosting coated with semi-sweet chocolate
Have you heard of these, and if so what flavors have you found to be amazing together?
Enjoy.
