Chocolate-Covered Cake Balls

Ingredients

  • Cooking spray
  • 1 box cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
  • 180 g butter, softened
  • 375 g icing sugar
  • 3 tbsp. double cream
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract
  • Pinch salt
  • 350 g white chocolate chips
  • 350 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 tbsp. coconut oil
  • Sprinkles, for decorating

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (160ºC fan) and grease a 23 – 33cm baking pan with cooking spray. Prepare cake mix according to box instructions and spread evenly into prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool then break cake into small crumbs. 
  2. In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat butter until smooth, then add sugar and beat until combined. Add cream, vanilla, and salt and mix until smooth. (Add more cream if frosting is too thick.)
  3. Line a large baking tray with parchment paper. Stir cake crumbs into frosting, then form mixture into tablespoon-sized balls. Place on a prepared baking tray and refrigerate until firm, 1 hour.
  4. In a deep-sided heatproof bowl, microwave white chocolate and 2 tablespoons coconut oil in 30 second intervals until melted. Repeat process with semisweet chocolate. 
  5. Dip chilled cake balls into melted chocolate, shaking off excess chocolate. Immediately decorate with sprinkles and return to baking tray. Refrigerate until hardened, 15 minutes.
