- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
Cake Mix
- 1 box (13.25) White cake mix or 14 oz box made according to box directions using whole milk instead of water, if possible.
- 1 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
Making The Cake Pops
- 2-3 tablespoons white frosting
- Pink or blue gel food coloring add to achieve desired color
- 18 ounces white almond bark
- Blue and pink colored sprinkles
- 30 cake pop sticks
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Prepare 9x13 cake pan with parchment paper extended over the ends for easy removal. (Use two 8-inch pans to prepare half blue and half pink cake pops if expecting fraternal twins).
- In a mason jar add flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Give it a shake to blend and add 11 level tablespoon to the 13.25 oz or 14 oz dry cake mix and stir until blnded well.
- Prepare cake mix batter according to box directions. Use milk instead of water, if possible. Add extra egg and vanilla.
- Add blue or pink gel food coloring until desired color is reached. The exact amount will depend on the type of food coloring you are using.
- Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake according to box directions or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow cake to cool.
- Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Using a fork, crumble the cake right in the pan.
- Add frosting and work with hands until the dough holds together and you can form a ball.
- Using a 2 tablespoon scoop, scoop dough, form it into balls, and place balls on your prepared baking sheet.
- Melt a small amount of almond bark. Dip skewers into melted bark and then push them into the cake pops.
- Freeze for 1 hour.
- Melt remaining white almond bark. If it seems too thick, you could add a small amount of coconut oil to thin it a bit. This will depend on the consistency of your bark.
- Roll each cake pop in melted bark, allowing excess to drip off.
- Add sprinkles quickly before bark hardens.
- Chill before serving.

Notes
- Use a 2-cup measuring cup for dipping the cake balls so you have adequate depth to insert the cake ball.
- Immediately remove any cake crumbs that might fall into the melted candy before dipping a new batch.
- Add sprinkles immediately after dipping the cake balls so they stick to the coating.
