Halloween Gluten Free Cake Truffles
Equipment
- Cake Pop Molds
Ingredients
- 1 box cake mix any kind (see notes below)
- 2 whole eggs (can substitute egg replacer)
- ¼ cup oil, melted butter or melted coconut oil
- ¾ cup milk (can substitute dairy free)
- 1 bag melting chocolates
- sprinkles, food decorations for truffles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray cake pop molds with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, stir together the cake mix, eggs, oil and milk until smooth. Spoon mixture into the bottom cake pop molds. Place the top cake pop mold on top and seal.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350 degrees or until cake lightly springs back when pressed with a finger. Remove from oven and allow to cool for several minutes in the cake pop mold before removing the cake from mold. For faster cooling time and for ease of dipping, once cake is removed you can place cake in the freezer for several minutes.
- once cake pops have cooled, melt the chocolate according to package directions. With a fork inserted into the cake pop, dip the cake into the chocolate, covering completely. Allow excess to drip off, then place cake pops to set on a sheet of wax paper. Decorate with sprinkles.
- Serve when chocolate has set.
