Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (315g)
  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar (300g)
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk (240ml) or milk with 1 tbsp vinegar
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (240ml)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp red food coloring (adjust to preference)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened (225g)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted (120g)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers (340g)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable shortening (optional)
  • Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, buttermilk, red food coloring, vanilla extract, and white vinegar until smooth.
  4. Gradually mix dry ingredients into wet ingredients until just combined.
  5. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  6. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar until creamy and smooth.
  7. Crumble the cooled cake into fine pieces using hands or a food processor.
  8. Add cream cheese filling to crumbled cake and mix gently until the mixture holds together when pressed. Adjust with more cream cheese or cake crumbs if needed.
  9. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  10. Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Stir in vegetable shortening if using.
  11. Dip each chilled cake pop into melted white chocolate, tapping off excess. Insert sticks if not already done.
  12. Place dipped cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand. Decorate with sprinkles or edible glitter while coating is wet.
  13. Let cake pops set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for about 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter and filling. Chill cake balls before dipping to prevent falling apart. Melt white chocolate in short bursts to avoid burning. If chocolate thickens, reheat gently with a bit of shortening. For firmer cake pops, chill longer before dipping.
