Make these vibrant red velvet cake pops using a simple method. They feature a moist cake ball mixed with cream cheese frosting, coated in smooth white chocolate, perfect for any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (15.25 oz) red velvet cake mix
  • Ingredients called for on cake mix box (usually eggs, oil, water)
  • 1 cup cream cheese frosting (store-bought or homemade)
  • 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers or candy coating
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
  • Cake pop sticks
  • Red or white sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the red velvet cake according to the package directions, substituting water with the amount specified on the box. Bake the cake in a 9×13 inch pan. Let the cake cool completely.
  2. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Discard any overly browned edges.
  3. Add the cream cheese frosting to the cake crumbs. Mix thoroughly with your hands or a sturdy spoon until a uniform, dough-like consistency forms.
  4. Roll the mixture into small, uniform balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps them hold their shape during dipping.
  6. Melt the white chocolate wafers according to package instructions, typically in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Stir in the optional vegetable oil for a smoother consistency.
  7. Dip the tip of a cake pop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert the stick about halfway into a chilled cake ball. Return the sheet to the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set the stick.
  8. Dip each cake ball completely into the melted white chocolate, gently tapping the stick against the side of the bowl to remove excess coating.
  9. Immediately add sprinkles, if using, before the chocolate sets.
  10. Place the finished cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or a dedicated cake pop stand to dry completely.

Notes

  • For the best texture, avoid over-mixing the cake crumbs and frosting. You want a moist dough, not a sticky paste.
  • If the white chocolate coating becomes too thick while dipping, microwave it for another 10-15 seconds to loosen it up.
  • If you prefer a richer red velvet flavor, use a homemade cream cheese frosting recipe instead of store-bought.
  • To make heart-shaped cake pops for Valentine’s Day, press the chilled dough gently into a small heart-shaped silicone mold before inserting the stick.
