Cake Balls
Prepare the cake according to directions using any of the recommended pan sizes. When cake is done, crumble while warm into a large bowl, and stir in the frosting until well blended. Use a melon baller or small scoop to form balls of the cake mixture. Form into balls and freeze for 5-10 minutes.
Melt chocolate coating and coconut oil in a glass bowl in the microwave 1-2 minutes, stirring after 30 seconds, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Dip the balls in chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper to set.
Chef’s Note:
If you want to go the extra mile, cake balls can be rolled in nuts, sprinkles, coconut, etc. or double-dipped in white and dark chocolates. Lesser quality White chocolate confectioners' coating is also called Almond Bark in some stores. It will work for this recipe, but it won’t be as smooth a texture in the finished products.
