- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 18 lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles
Chocolate dip
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Prepare cake mix, incorporating the cake mix, water, eggs, and oil in a bowl. Using an electric mixer and mix on low speed for 1 minute. Raise speed to high and mix for 2 minutes more. Pour batter into a greased baking pan.
- Put cake mixture to bake in the preheated oven for 20- 25 minutes. To ensure the cake is finished baking, stick a toothpick in the centre of the cake and it should come out clean. If there is still wet batter, leave for another 5 minutes in the oven and do the toothpick test again. Allow to cool completely on the counter for at least 1 hour or overnight in your refrigerator.
- In a large bowl, break the cake apart into crumbles.
- Mix frosting into cake crumbles until mixture is moist and stick, do not overmix. Place mixture in the freezer and chill for 1/2 hour.
- Using an ice-cream scooper (or a normal spoon), scoop out the mixture and roll into 1/2-inch balls and lay out a baking sheet, ensure that they are spaced out at least 2 inches apart. Insert each cake with a lollipop stick.
- Prepare the frosting, by adding all frosting ingredients to a non-stick pan and place on low heat. After 30 seconds, ingredients will start to melt and form your chocolate dip.
- Pour your chocolate dip in a tall narrow glass. Dip each cake pop in the melted chocolate dip until completely coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off. Repeat dipping process until all cake pops are coated.
- While chocolate is still wet, decorate the cake pops with sprinkles.
- Allow the cake pops to finish setting, placing into the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Serve and enjoy! Store extra cake pops in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
