Chocolate Cake Balls

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Chocolate Cake Balls.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While it warms up, grab a 9x13-inch baking dish and give it a light coat of cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Step 3

   For easy cleanup, line a baking tray with waxed paper.

4. Step 4

   In a large mixing bowl, combine your chocolate cake mix with water, eggs, and vegetable oil.

5. Step 5

   Using an electric mixer, blend everything together on low speed for about 30 seconds until it’s just moistened.

6. Step 6

   Then, kick it up to medium speed and beat the mixture for a delightful 2 minutes until it’s perfectly combined and smooth.

7. Step 7

   Pour this luscious batter into your prepared baking dish and pop it into the oven.

8. Step 8

   Bake for 26 to 31 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, signaling that your cake is ready.

9. Step 9

   Once baked, let the cake cool until it’s safe to handle—this is the perfect time to savor the sweet aroma wafting through your kitchen.

10. Step 10

    When the cake has cooled, crumble it into a large bowl, and mix in the chocolate frosting until everything is beautifully blended.

11. Step 11

    Now comes the fun part! Using a melon baller or a small scoop, form the chocolate cake mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on your lined baking tray.

12. Step 12

    To help them firm up, pop the tray in the freezer for about 15 minutes.

13. Step 13

    While the cake balls chill, melt your chocolate coating in a glass bowl—either in the microwave or over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until it’s silky smooth.

14. Step 14

    Once your cake balls are chilled and the chocolate is melted, it’s time to dip! Using a toothpick or fork, gently dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip off.

15. Step 15

    Return the coated cake balls to the tray and let them set.

    Enjoy the process and the delicious treats you’ve created!.
