Leftover cake? (yea, I know...me either)
Here's a great way to "recycle". Fancy it up
in the form of cake balls (or you could even
do cake pops if you aren’t lazy like me),
here’s how to do it:
First, scrape most of the frosting off the
cake. Cake balls don’t require much
frosting, and you can always add more in
later if you need it. Much easier to add
frosting than take it away, as I always say
(for the first time ever right now).
Knead the cake and frosting together into a
dough. Roll the dough into truffle-size balls.
(You can stick these in the freezer to firm
up for a few minutes if you’d like.) Melt
some chocolate or candy melts. Dip the
cake balls in the chocolate. Use a spoon to
shake off excess chocolate and place on
parchment paper lined tray to harden.
While the chocolate is still wet, you can
give them a fancy drizzle or sprinkle on
some nonpareils like I did. Annnnd – That’s
it!
