Lemon Cake Balls: An Incredible Refreshing Dessert Delight


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix
– 1 cup water
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 3 large eggs
– 1 cup lemon frosting (store-bought or homemade)
– 2 cups white chocolate chips (for coating)
– 1 tablespoon lemon zest (for added flavor)
– Sprinkles or crushed nuts (for decoration, optional)


Instructions

Creating these Lemon Cake Balls is both easy and fun! Follow these steps for delightful results:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by lightly greasing it.
2. Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Whisk until smooth and well blended.
3. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool completely in the pan.
4. Crumble the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, crumble it into a large bowl using your hands or a fork until you have fine crumbs.
5. Add Frosting and Zest: Add the lemon frosting and lemon zest to the crumbled cake. Mix well until fully combined and moist.
6. Form Cake Balls: Using your hands, scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and continue until all the cake mixture is used.
7. Chill the Balls: Put the baking sheet with the cake balls in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, allowing them to firm up.
8. Melt Chocolate Chips: While the cake balls chill, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
9. Coat the Cake Balls: Remove the cake balls from the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place them back on the parchment paper.
10. Add Toppings: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle the tops with your choice of sprinkles or crushed nuts for decoration.
11. Set the Coating: Allow the coated cake balls to sit at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set.

And there you have it—perfect Lemon Cake Balls!
