Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups vanilla cake mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1/2 cup red sprinkles
- 1/2 cup blue sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan, then crumble it into a large bowl.
- Add the cream cheese frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until fully combined. The mixture should be moist and hold together when rolled into balls.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the cake balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Dip each frozen cake ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle red and blue sprinkles over the coated cake balls before the chocolate sets.
- Place the decorated cake balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate is fully set, about 30 minutes.
Notes
- To enhance the flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the cake batter.
- For a fun twist, substitute chocolate cake mix for the vanilla for a different flavor profile.
