Ingredients
- ½ Cup(s) unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¼ Cup(s) white granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1 ¼ Cup(s) all purpose flour
- 1 ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¾ Cup(s) whole milk
Frosting Ingredients:
- ¼ Cup(s) unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 Cup(s) powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tablespoons milk
Pink Coating Ingredients:
- 1 ½ Cup(s) pink candy melts
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- White sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Mix the salt and butter with a hand mixer.
- Add the sugar and blend.
- Add 2 eggs along with the vanilla and almond extract. Mix the rest of the wet ingredients.
- Pour in the baking powder and the flour and blend until smooth.
- Pour the milk over the top of the batter and use a spatula to slowly fold until smooth. This should thin out the batter as well.
- Pour the batter into a baking pan (be sure to spray with nonstick spray first) and place in the oven. Bake for 22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- As the cake is baking, grab a clean bowl and add the powdered sugar and butter. Blend using a hand mixer. (The mixture will look crumbly)
- Add the vanilla extract and milk to the bowl and blend until it is creamy. Set aside.
- Once the cake is out of the oven, let it cool for 20 minutes. Then crumble it in a bowl, using your hands to break it into small pieces. (Make sure that the cake is cool!)
- Add the frosting to the cake pieces and blend with a fork.
- Use a 1-inch scoop scoop a ball of the dough and roll it in your clean hands to create a cake pop. Place the ball on parchment paper.
- Repeat until all the dough is used.
- Put the cake balls into the freezer for 15 minutes.
- While the cake balls are in the freezer, melt the pink melting chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Take the cake balls out of the freezer and gather the needed supplies to make the cake pops.
- Dip each cake pop stick 1/4-inch into the pink melted chocolate, and then pace into the center of each cake ball, halfway through.
- Let the chocolate harden for a minute, then pick up the cake pop and dip it into the pink chocolate to coat it fully.
- Let the excess drip off by shaking it carefully.
- Put it into the cake pop stand and add the white sprinkles. Let the chocolate harden for 5 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes
You don't want to chocolate to be too hot when dipping the cake balls in it, or it will form cracks.
