Juicy and refreshing cake pops are great for when you want something sweet, because they are just the right size for one sweet bite.
The sweet and sour combination of raspberries and white chocolate is truly amazing and simply impossible to resist. And not only the taste, but also the texture is exceptional, crunchy chocolate on the outside and soft and juicy cake under the chocolate complement each other wonderfully. Cake pops are also very simple to make, but it takes some time, because you have to firstly bake the cake, then form the balls and cover them with chocolate. But it is definitely worth taking the time, because these cake pops are the best snack.
Ingredients and instructions
Cake batter is made with only 8 ingredients and doesn’t contain any oil. Instead of oil we used peanut butter, which is a great source of healthy fats and also adds a nice peanut flavour. Cake batter is also refined sugar free and is only sweetened with coconut sugar and agave syrup. Other ingredients that you will need to make it, are:
- flour (all purpose flour),
- baking powder,
- almond milk (or any other plant based milk),
- vanilla extract and
- raspberries.
First, you will need to bake the cake and leave it to cool down completely. Then it’s time to make cake pops! Crumble the batter with your hands into a large bowl, pour almond milk over it and add some agave syrup, then mix with your hands until the whole batter is soaked. Then shape balls by taking a piece of the batter and squeezing it together between the hands so that it sticks together nicely and then roll it to form a ball. Repeat the process until you use up all the dough. When you are done, it’s time to melt white chocolate over the steamer and dip each ball into it. Place chocolate covered balls on a plate covered with foil to make it easier to remove later. Place the balls in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to harden. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator.
