Strawberry Cake Balls Ingredients
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup frosting
- 1/2 cup chocolate coating (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the strawberry cake mix according to the package instructions, combining the cake mix, water, and eggs, then bake until done.
- Cool and Crumble: Allow the cake to cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the cake into small, fine pieces inside a large mixing bowl.
- Mix with Frosting: Add the 1/2 cup of frosting to the crumbled cake. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and holds together when pressed.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and arrange them evenly on a baking sheet or tray.
- Optional Chocolate Coating: If desired, dip each cake ball into the chocolate coating to cover completely. Place coated balls back on the tray to set.
- Chill to Set: Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 30 minutes so they firm up before serving. Enjoy chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to avoid gummy texture.
- Use any frosting flavor that complements the strawberry cake, such as cream cheese or vanilla.
- The chocolate coating is optional but adds a nice texture contrast and flavor dimension.
- Store cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a festive touch, decorate the chocolate coating with sprinkles before it sets.
