Ingredients
  

Cake
  • 83 g flour
  • 2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 0.125 tsp baking soda
  • 0.125 tsp salt
  • 60 ml canola oil
  • 50 g sugar
  • 30 ml buttermilk
  • 1 egg white egg white
  • 1 tsp red food coloring
  • 0.25 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.125 tsp white vinegar
Filling and Coating
  • 85 g cream cheese, softened
  • 60 g powdered sugar
  • 340 g almond bark (or white chocolate), for coating

Equipment

  • Cupcake Tin
  • Electric Mixer
  • Microwave

Method
 

  1. In a cupcake tin, place 4 cupcake liners on the outside edge. Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F, and gather all ingredients.
  2. In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder. In another bowl, beat together the canola oil, sugar, buttermilk, egg white, red dye, vinegar, and vanilla using an electric mixer. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
  3. Divide the batter between the four cupcake liners and bake at 350° for 20-22 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  4. When cool, crumble the cupcakes into crumbs. In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Add the crumbs and stir very well.
  5. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into your hands and then roll into balls. Place the balls on a plate and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
  6. To make the coating, chop the almond bark into 1" chunks and place in a bowl. Heat on medium power in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted. Dip each ball into the coating quickly, using a fork to turn, then let them dry on a piece of wax paper.

Notes

Recipe is easily doubled and baked in a 6" round cake pan to make 20 truffles. Cake pops can be made 3 days ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
