How To Make Chocolate Cake Pops _ Simply Bakings

Hello guys .

Today we will be making chocolate cake pops .

This is a fun recipe and this is a copycat recipe from Starbucks .

I teamed up with two of my friends from the divine hostess and Jake from the Vegetarian baker and we picked a few of our favorites from the Starbucks menu and we copycat the recipe .

So don't forget to check them out at the end of the video .

Let's begin .

So I baked chocolate cake about a day ago and I let it sit all crumbled up like what you saw because it's best to use it when the cake is dry .

And then I took some butter cream and I added it in .

Then you're going to mix it until the cake and the butter cream stick together like so and then to make it into a ball , I placed it onto my palm and I flattened it out first .

Then I rolled it into a ball by doing that .

It allows the cake pop to stick together better , especially when you buy it into the cake pop .

So the cake ball will be really greasy .

So what I did was I rolled it onto paper towel to take away some of the grease and then I placed it onto a platter .

Next , you're going to melt the chocolate and this is some shortening flakes .

You're gonna add a pinch of it and then melt it for about the most 30 seconds .

And it has to be very liquidy like so , and then I took a cake stick and I dipped in chocolate and then I pushed it into the cake ball and then I allowed it to sit for about five minutes until it dried up .

And then I dipped it into chocolate .

Everyone has their own technique of making cake pops , um especially dipping the chocolate .

So do whatever is best for you .

I just dipped it in and then I took out the ax of chocolate by tapping on the bowl .

Then I let it dry up for about three minutes .

Then I added sprinkles .

You don't want to add the sprinkles immediately because if these sprinkles were bigger , it would fall off the chocolate , but it's best just to wait 2 to 3 minutes after .

And that's it .

It's really easy and it's fun to make and it actually tastes like the Starbucks cake pop .

So don't forget to head over to my friend channel to watch their videos .

Thanks for watching .

Bye guys .
