Carrot Cake Balls

These Carrot Cake Balls are so good and only require a couple of ingredients to make. One of my favorite parts about making cake balls is the smashing of the cake. You make the cake and combine it with cream cheese to form the balls. If you find yourself loving this recipe, then try out these Red Velvet Cake Balls or these Red Velvet Bourbon Cake Balls.

Ingredients

  • Sugar– Every great recipe uses sugar.
  • Canola Oil– Use vegetable oil as a substitute.
  • Eggs– Use these at room temperature.
  • Flour– Use all-purpose for the best results.
  • Baking Soda– This will allow the ingredients to double in size.
  • Baking Powder– This will allow the cake to rise in the oven.
  • Salt– This will bring out the flavors.
  • Cinnamon– This will be used for additional flavoring.
  • Carrots– These will need to be shredded.
  • Walnuts– These will need to be chopped.
  • Frosting– You will need cream cheese frosting.
  • Wafers– You will need Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers.

How to Make Carrot Cake Balls

To start, set the oven to 350 degrees and use pam to grease a 9×9 inch baking dish.

First, add the sugar, oil, and eggs into a standing mixer and combine.

Secondly, add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon and combine.

Thirdly, use a spatula to fold in the carrots and walnuts.

Next, add the batter into the pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.

Place onto a cooling rack.

Next, use your hands to crumble to cake in a large bowl.

After, add into 2-3 scoops of frosting and combine until it forms a dough.

Next, separate into cake ball portions using an ice cream scoop and roll into a ball.

Arrange onto the prepared sheet.

Continue until all the dough is gone, then place into the fridge for 1 hour.

After, take out and put onto the counter.

Place the chocolate wafers in a double boiler to melt.

Next, dip the balls into the chocolate with a fork to coat.

Remove the excess chocolate by shaking.

Put back onto the sheet and top with chopped walnuts.

Next, continue until you have coated all of the balls.

Finally, let cool for 15 minutes to harden.

Enjoy!
