Easy Chocolate Cake Pops
Perfect treat for young and old, these chocolate cake pops are super easy to make and simply delicious!
Ingredients
For the sponge batter:
- 5 eggs
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 25 ml oil
- 130 g flour
- 1 tbsp vanilla essence
- 30 g cocoa
- 10 g baking powder
To form the balls:
- 150 ml liquid whipping cream (or heavy cream) add gradually and adjust according to consistency
For the topping:
- 20 g melted chocolate
To decorate:
- Sprinkles, coconut flakes, ground nuts, etc.
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients for the chocolate sponge cake in a bowl. Mix until you get a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Pour onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (the size of the sheet doesn’t really matter because you will crumble all the baked cake anyway) and bake for 25-30 minutes at 180 °C/356 °F or until the dough is firm on the surface. Allow to cool.
- Melt the chocolate in a steam bath.
- Crumble the cake finely between your hands. Gradually pour in the cream, making sure the mixture is not too thin but soft enough to shape into balls. Knead until you feel you have a good consistency.
- Shape 3-4 cm (1-1½ inch) balls and dip them in melted hot chocolate.
- Dip the balls in sprinkles or coconut flakes etc.
- Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours before serving.
- Stick lollipop sticks, straws, toothpicks or short skewer sticks into each candy and, ta-daaa, you have some delicious cake pops!
