Simple Vegan Cake Pops

This is one of my favorite desserts! It’s fun, unique, and so simple.

In my opinion, cake pops are grossly underrated! They are the perfect little serving of sweetness – not too much, not too little. They’re easily customizable, and who doesn’t love food on a stick? Before discovering this recipe, I hadn’t had a cake pop in over three years! I used to get the Starbucks cake pops all the time before I was vegan, and I haven’t been able to find a vegan version anywhere. This recipe is so easy to make, it’s a fun project, and the result is phenomenal! Plus, it’s very economical and only includes ingredients that I always have on hand.

Ingredients:

• 1 box cake mix
• 1 cup unsweetened apple sauce
• 1 cup plant milk
• 3 tbsp frosting
• 12 oz chocolate
• sprinkles and/or rice crispies

NOTE:

Make sure to double-check that the chocolate, cake mix, and frosting are all vegan. The flavors are up to you!

Method:

• Combine the cake mix, apple sauce, and plant milk in a medium-sized bowl.
• Pour into a lightly greased 9×13 cake pan, and cook according to the box instructions.

• Remove from oven and let cool for 30-35 minutes.
• Use your hands to crumble the cake apart in the pan. Add the frosting to the cake and combine as much as you can.

• Form a ball with the cake. If it sticks, you’ve used enough frosting. If not, add a little more, combine & try again.
• Form balls as big or small as you want your cake pops to be until you are out of cake.

• Melt your chocolate in a small saucepan. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Dip each ball into the chocolate, coating completely, remove with a fork, and place on the baking sheet. Add your desired toppings to each cake ball.

• Refrigerate until the chocolate has hardened. Enjoy & share!
