Chocolate cake balls is prepared from leftover vanilla cake along with icing sugar, butter and melted chocolate. Kids will love this yummy chocolate cake balls for sure.

Ingredients:

Yields: 8 to 9 balls

• 1 1/2 cup – Crumbled vanilla cake ( i used leftover cake)
• 1 tbsp – Icing sugar
• 1 to 2 tbsp – Melted butter
• 3 to 4 tbsp – Melted chocolate ( or add as needed)
• 1 or 2 tbsp – Cocoa powder for decoration
• Sprinkles for decorating (optional)

Preparation method:

1. Take a mixer grinder, add leftover cake and blend it to coarse powder. Transfer this to a mixing bowl, add crumbled cake or powdered cake, icing sugar, melted butter and melted chocolate, mix well to a soft pliable dough.
2. Refrigerate dough for 10mins and then make lemon sized smooth balls out of the dough, keep it aside.
3. Finally roll the cake balls in cocoa powder and then in colorful sprinkles, serve immediately.

Notes:

• You can increase or decrease icing sugar, butter, melted chocolate to bind it together as a dough.
• I used leftover eggless vanilla cake which was a day old, so i used blender to blend it. If you use fresh vanilla cake then no need to use blender. You can use your hand to crumble the cake.
• You can use any sprinkles of your choice or you can eat as it is without any sprinkle.
• You can either prepare it with egg or eggless cake.
• I did not shown how to make melted chocolate here. You can either melt it on stove top using double boiler method or microwave.
• If you are not going to have this cake balls immediately, you can refrigerate it and have it later. But cake balls become very hard to eat.
