    Chocolate Cake Pops are very popular these days. Whenever I go for kids’ birthday parties, I see these cake pops compulsory in their parties.  These homemade cake pops are much better than the store brought ones. My kids love these cake pops very much. Whenever I make cups or cakes first thing, they ask is mummy when are going to make cake pops. So, to surprise them I made these pops. They were very happy when they saw them. Here goes the recipe.

     

    Chocolate Cake Pops

     

    Ingredients:

    • Chocolate cake

    For Chocolate Ganache:

    • Dark chocolate-300g
    • Double cream-150ml
    • Unsalted butter-1tbsp

    For Chocolate Coating:

    • Candy Melts-2cups
    • Sprinkles

     

    Chocolate Cake Pops

    Preparation:

    1. For chocolate cake click here for the recipe.

    2. For chocolate Ganache Heat the chocolate and double cream in a microwave-safe bowl for 30sec-1minute, until the chocolate melts. Remove the bowl and whisk the mixture until smooth. Cover the bowl and leave it on the counter top to get ganache thick.

    3.Crumble the cake into a bowl and add the ganache and combine everything well until we are able a form a ball out of the mixture

    4. Take a small mixture into your hands and start rolling slowly in between your palms into a ball and place it on the baking tray lined with parchment paper

    5. Do the same process until you finish the whole mixture

    6. Here I got approx. 20 cake pops, place these in the fridge for 20-25 mins until they set.

    7. Meanwhile, melt the candy melts in a microwave and keep ready

    8. Dip the lollipop sticks in the melted chocolate and then slowly push into cake pops through halfway.

    9.Repeat the same process with the remaining ones

    10. Now dip each cake pops in the chocolate until it is completely covered. Gentle tap your hand to drop the excess coating from the cake pops.

    11.keep them upright on a foam and they will set within 1hour. Before they get set sprinkle your ones on them and enjoy these delicious homemade cake pops.

    12. You can keep them in the refrigerator up to 1 week, but I think they won’t last that much time. My kids finished them into 2 days.
