Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup colorful candy melts or white chocolate chips (for decoration)
To make the cake, preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the butter until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients. Beat just until combined.
Instructions:
- Bake the cake in a 9x13-inch baking dish for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan.
- Once the cake is cool, crumble it into a large bowl. Add 1/4 cup of white chocolate chips and mix until well combined.
- Use a small cookie scoop or your hands to shape the cake mixture into balls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. You should end up with around 20-25 cake balls.
- Melt the remaining 3/4 cup of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Dip the end of a lollipop stick or cake pop stick into the melted chocolate and insert it into each cake ball, about halfway through.
- Dip the end of a lollipop stick or cake pop stick into the melted chocolate and insert it into each cake ball, about halfway through.
- Melt the candy melts or white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Dip each cake ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork or dipping tool to fully coat the cake ball. Tap off any excess chocolate by gently tapping the fork or dipping tool against the side of the bowl.
- Place the dipped cake pop on a parchment-lined baking sheet or a wire rack set over parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining cake balls.
- Refrigerate the cake pops for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate. Once set, you can decorate them with additional candy melts or white chocolate chips, if desired.
