2-Ingredient Cake Pops

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cake: Purchase a pre-made cake of your preferred flavor from a bakery or store. Ensure it’s a standard-size cake, suitable for making cake pops.
2. Crumble the Cake: Allow the store-bought cake to cool completely (if it was made fresh). Crumble the cake into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork. Ensure there are no large chunks. You can also use a stand mixer.
3. Form Cake Balls: Take small amounts of the crumbled cake and roll them into uniform-sized balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the cake balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Insert Cake Pop Sticks: Melt a small amount of the chocolate or candy melting wafers according to the package instructions. Dip the tip of each cake pop stick into the melted chocolate and then insert it into the center of each cake ball, about halfway through.
5. Chill Cake Pops: Place the baking sheet with the cake pops in the refrigerator for at least 15-20 minutes to allow them to firm up.
6. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the remaining chocolate or candy melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions. Stir until smooth.
7. Dip Cake Pops: Take each cake pop and dip it into the melted chocolate, ensuring the entire cake ball is coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
8. Decorate (Optional): If desired, you can decorate the cake pops with sprinkles, crushed nuts, or drizzle with a contrasting color of melted chocolate.
9. Set Cake Pops: Stick the cake pops upright into a Styrofoam block or a cake pop stand to allow the chocolate coating to set completely.
10. Serve: Once the chocolate coating is set, your 2-ingredient cake pops are ready to be enjoyed! They make a delightful treat for parties, gatherings, or as a sweet snack.
