Strawberry Cake Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare the cake mix according to package directions using any of the recommended pan sizes. When cake is done, crumble while warm into a large bowl, and stir in the frosting until well blended.
• Melt chocolate coating in a glass bowl in the microwave, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
• Use a melon baller or small scoop to form balls of the chocolate cake mixture. Dip the balls in chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper to set.

Steps:

• Prepare cake batter and bake as directed. I often use a 9 x 13 cake pan as I find this is easiest.
• Once cake has cooled, scoop it out of the cake pan and into the bowl of an electric mixer.
• Stir together the strawberries and kirsch or jam (if using).
• Add the frosting and the strawberries mixture to the crumbled cake; mix on low to medium speed until a pink dough forms. This can also be done by hand, but may not be mixed as well and will take longer.
• Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
• Roll into @ 1 inch balls and place on parchment paper laying on a sheet pan. Freeze the balls for at least 1 hour.
• Right before removing cake balls from freezer, melt chocolate (if in the microwave, melt in 30 second increments until melted completely).
• Using a fork, dip balls in chocolate and gently flip it around, just until coated. Lift it out with the fork, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off. Decorate as desired, refrigerating immediately after for at least a few minutes.
• We like these best chilled, but they can also be kept at room temperature.
