Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Cake
- 1 box strawberry cake mix
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup frosting
Optional Coating
- 1/2 cup chocolate coating
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the strawberry cake mix as directed on the package, using the specified water and eggs to achieve a moist cake.
- Cool and Crumble: Allow the baked cake to cool completely. Once cooled, crumble the cake into fine crumbs in a large mixing bowl to ensure even mixing.
- Mix with Frosting: Add the 1/2 cup of frosting to the crumbled cake and mix thoroughly until the mixture holds together well.
- Shape into Balls: Roll the cake and frosting mixture into small bite-sized balls and place them evenly spaced on a baking sheet or tray.
- Optional Chocolate Coating: For added flavor and texture, dip each cake ball into melted chocolate coating, ensuring they are fully covered. Place them back on the tray.
- Chill: Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set firmly before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cake is completely cool before crumbling to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet.
- If desired, use cream cheese or vanilla frosting to complement the strawberry flavor.
- The chocolate coating can be substituted with white or dark chocolate for variety.
- Store cake balls in an airtight container in the fridge to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free frosting and cake mix alternatives.
