Easy Cake Balls Recipe: Perfect for Gifting!

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 (15.25 ounce) package chocolate cake mix
• 1 cup water
• 3 large eggs
• 0.33 cup vegetable oil
• 1 (16 ounce) container prepared chocolate frosting
• 1 (3 ounce) bar chocolate flavored confectioners coating

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Cover a baking tray with waxed paper for later.
2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, water, eggs, and oil. Use an electric mixer on low speed until just combined (about 30 seconds). Increase the speed to medium and mix for 2 minutes. Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish.
3. Bake in the preheated oven for 26 to 31 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly before handling.
4. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Add frosting and mix until thoroughly combined. Shape the mixture into balls using a melon baller or small scoop. Place the cake balls onto the prepared baking tray and freeze for about 15 minutes to chill.
5. Melt the chocolate coating in a microwave-safe glass bowl or in a metal bowl set over a pan of simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
6. Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, using a toothpick or fork to hold it. Place the coated cake balls back on the tray to allow the chocolate to set.
