Red Velvet Cake Pops
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 box red velvet cake mix
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
- 24 ounces white candy melts
- 24 lollipop sticks
- Sprinkles or decorations (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the red velvet cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool completely, then crumble it into a large bowl using your hands or a fork.
- Add the cream cheese frosting to the crumbled cake and mix until well combined. The mixture should be moist enough to roll into balls without being too sticky.
- Roll the cake mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the white candy melts according to the package instructions. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted candy melts and insert it into the cake balls, then freeze for 15 minutes to set.
- Dip each cake pop into the melted candy melts, allowing any excess to drip off. If using sprinkles or decorations, add them immediately before the candy coating sets.
- Place the cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set completely.
- Once the candy coating is set, the red velvet cake pops are ready to be enjoyed!
Red Velvet Cake Pops have a rich history dating back to the 1920s when the Adams Extract Company popularized the red velvet cake recipe to promote their food coloring. This decadent treat gained widespread popularity in the Southern United States, particularly in regions like the Carolinas and Georgia. The cake's vibrant red color and subtle cocoa flavor make it a beloved dessert, and its transformation into bite-sized cake pops has only added to its allure. Today, renowned pastry chefs and bakeries across the country, such as Magnolia Bakery in New York City and Sprinkles Cupcakes in Los Angeles, have perfected the art of crafting these delightful treats. The key to a perfect Red Velvet Cake Pop lies in achieving the ideal balance of moist cake and creamy frosting, all coated in a luscious layer of chocolate or candy melts. Whether enjoyed as a party favor or a sweet indulgence, these cake pops continue to captivate dessert lovers with their irresistible charm.
