Vanilla Eyeball Cake Balls
An easy cake ball, or cake pop to make for Halloween.
Equipment
- Electric mixer
- Small bowl
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- Cookie Scoop
- 9x13 Baking pan
- Parchment Paper
Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup water
- ½ cup oil
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup premade vanilla icing
- 20 ounces white candy melts or white chocolate
- Eyeball candy decorations
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13x9 baking dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the vanilla cake mix with the water, oil and eggs. Mix on medium for about 2 minutes, until the batter is smooth. Scrape the sides often.
- Transfer the cake batter to the prepared baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and done in the center. Allow to cool completely.
- Crumble the cooled cake and place in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add in the premade frosting and use the paddle attachment to mix for a couple minutes or until the cake and frosting are thoroughly combined.
- Use a small ice cream scoop or similar to divide the cake ball batter and roll into balls. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet, plate or cutting board that can fit in the fridge or freezer to chill.
- Let chill for about an hour, then begin the assembly.
- In a medium, microwave safe bowl, melt the white candy melts until smooth.
- Use a spoon or fork to dip the cake balls into the melted white chocolate, tapping the excess off on the side of the bowl.
- Immediately place the eyeball decoration on top of the cake ball before the white chocolate sets.
- Repeat with remaining cake balls.
Notes
Storage: Cake balls should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
