It is cake ball time again! I made these cake balls specifically to decorate another birthday cake, but thought that they turned out so well that I would post them on their own. These cake balls are chocolate chocolate chocolate. Chocolate Fudge cake with Chocolate Fudge frosting, and semi sweet chocolate coating covered in orange and black sugar sprinkles. They are super delicious, and incredibly cute on top of that! And just in time for Halloween, too!
1 (9x13) dark chocolate cake, baked and cooled
1 (16 ounce) can dark chocolate or chocolate fudge frosting
1 (12 ounce) bag semi sweet chocolate chips
1 Tablespoon shortening
black and orange sugar sprinkles
Crumble the prepared cake into a large bowl. Add the frosting and beat with an electric mixer on low until completely combined. Scoop by heaping tablespoonfuls and roll into balls, then place on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for about 1 hour.
In a double boiler or medium bowl set on top of a saucepan of simmering water (the bowl should not touch the water) place the chocolate chips and shortening. Melt the chips and shortening together, stirring until smooth. When the chocolate is melted, remove the cake balls from the freezer and dip, one by one in the melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip off. Immediately after dipping the cake balls, while the chocolate is still wet, roll the cake balls in the sugar sprinkles to completely cover. Place the cake balls back on the wax paper lined baking sheet to set up completely.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
