Instructions
Chocolate Cake:
- Preheat the oven to 370 degrees and grease a cake pan with non-stick spray.
- In a standing mixer, cream the butter with both sugars. Mix until softened.
- Add the eggs and vanilla a little at a time.
- Sift in the dry ingredients, little by little. Mix until combined. Try not to overmix.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Make sure you do not burn it.
- Once it's melted, fold it in together with the milk.
- Place in the oven and bake for 40 - 45 minutes or until you insert a toothpick and it comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool for 15 minutes and then remove it from the pan.
Easter Cake Pops
- In small individual bowls, melt your candy melts so they are ready to use for coating.
- Meanwhile, crumble the cake into a bowl. Add in the cream cheese so you are able to roll the cake mixture. Mix with your hands, until it is perfectly combined.
- Place your cake mixture into your egg-shaped mold. Freeze until firm for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the mold, dip the tip of 1 lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into melted candy, and insert stick into 1 cake ball no more than halfway. Repeat.
- Now dip your Easter egg into the chocolate of your choice or you can also use a spoon to drip some chocolate over the cake. Return to your baking sheet, add some sprinkles, and refrigerate for 5 minutes. Let stand until set.
- Enjoy!
Notes
Another option to make your eggs, is to add a thick layer of chocolate into your mold using a brush. Place the lollipop stick about ½ inch into the mold once you have placed the layer of chocolate. Let it set and add your cake mixture into the mold. Cover the top with another layer of chocolate and let it set completely. Remove from the mold.
