Cake Truffles

Directions

1. 1
   Mix cake, water, oil and eggs and bake as directed on box.
2. 2
   Place cooled cake or scraps into a bowl in large pieces.
3. 3
   Using a fork, crumble the cake into a nice crumb.
4. 4
   Crumbled cake will be soft and fluffy.
5. 5
   Pour in liquid coffee creamer judging by eye, until a medium sized puddle forms.
6. 6
   Put on decorator's/food safe gloves and begin mixing the crumb liquid mixture.
7. 7
   The cake central site says to use gloved hands because it's easier to get the feel of the mixture for consistency reasons rather then using a fork or spoon but you can use a fork or spoon if you'd prefer.
8. 8
   Mix until a soft mushy dough forms.
9. 9
   Once you get the mixture to the consistency you would like it, roll a small amount into a ball using the palms of your hands, or a cookie scoop, or a melon baller; anything will work for this.
10. 10
    Place each ball on a platter.
11. 11
    Place platter into the freezer for about 30-90 minutes.
12. 12
    Meanwhile, place chocolate to be melted in a microwave safe bowl, microwave following melting directions.
13. 13
    After removing platter from freezer, take one ball at a time, and roll it around in the melted chocolate with the help of a spoon.
14. 14
    Place dipped balls back onto the parchment paper lined tray for drying.
15. 15
    TIP: Store frozen - un-dipped - cake balls in an air tight container sealed with both lid and plastic wrap. Remove just before dipping to help the chocolate coating set.
