Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box yellow or white cake mix (about 15.25 oz / 432 g)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil (80 ml)
  • 1 cup water (240 ml)
  • 1/2 cup creamy vanilla frosting (about 120 g)
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers (340 g)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional)
  • Assorted colorful sprinkles (jimmies, nonpareils, star shapes)
  • Edible glitter or shimmer dust (optional)
  • Cake pop sticks or sturdy lollipop sticks
  • Styrofoam block or cake pop stand for drying

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare cake batter by combining cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Beat until smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Pour batter into pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow cake to cool completely, about 1 hour.
  5. Crumble cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
  6. Add 1/2 cup vanilla frosting to cake crumbs and mix gently until mixture holds together when pressed. Add more frosting if too dry.
  7. Roll mixture into 1 1/4-inch (3 cm) balls and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Chill cake balls in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Melt white chocolate chips with 1 tsp coconut oil in microwave-safe bowl using 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
  10. Dip tip of each cake pop stick into melted chocolate, then insert halfway into cake ball. Chill for 10 minutes to set.
  11. Dip each cake pop fully into melted white chocolate, tap off excess, and quickly sprinkle colorful sprinkles over coating.
  12. Place cake pops upright in styrofoam block or stand to dry completely, about 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Use short bursts when melting white chocolate to avoid burning. Chill cake balls before dipping to prevent droopy pops. Adjust frosting amount to get the right cake pop texture. Reheat chocolate gently if it thickens during dipping. Store cake pops in airtight container in fridge up to 5 days or freeze up to 2 months.
