Cake Pops Chocolate Ganache

These chocolate cake pops are made with a simple and moist chocolate cake and chocolate frosting. Then they are covered with melted chocolate and topped with sprinkles.

Dutch cocoa powder– we like to use Dutch-process cocoa powder for our chocolate cake because we like the deep and rich chocolate taste, but the natural cocoa powder will work great as well!

-

Granulated sugar– we like to use granulated sugar, also the most common sugar used in baking.Caster sugar will work great as well.

Chocolate Mousse Cake

Buttermilk- gives the cake extra moisture. You can make your own buttermilk if you don’t have one on hand. Simply mix a cup of milk with a tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit for at least 10 minutes.

Salt- We used kosher salt for this recipe. Salt doesn’t give the cake a salty taste, it helps to enhance the chocolate flavor.

Dark chocolate-melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or on the stovetop (bain-marie) and let it cool completely so it won’t melt the butter.

Steps For The Perfect Drip Cake

Into a big mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt. Mix well until combined.

Pour the cake batter into a parchment lined 8 inch parchment paper and bake in a 180c (350f) preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.

Into a large bowl add room temperature butter and mix with a hand mixer or a stand mixer until the butter is light and fluffy.

Add half of the powder sugar and the cocoa powder, kosher salt, vanilla extract, and milk, and carefully mix until combined. Add the other half of the powder sugar and mix until smooth.

Allow the cake to cool to room temperature. Transfer the cake to a large mixing bowl and using your clean hands, crumble the cake completely.

Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the balls (or about 1 tbsp). Roll them into balls using your hands and place them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least an hour or 30 minutes in the freezer.

Dark Chocolate Cake Truffles

Dip one of the ends of the cake pop sticks into the melted chocolate, and insert it halfway into the chocolate balls.

Gently dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate. Let the extra chocolate drip off. Top with your favorite sprinkles and either stick the cake pops into a foam board (if you have one) or place them in a cup in the fridge to set. (like I did)

No! you can’t taste the coffee. Adding the coffee simply enhances the chocolate flavor. So, don’t skip the coffee on the cake!

Ingredient No Bake Chocolate Cake (no Flour, Eggs Or Oil)

These will last up to 5 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. Cover the balls with plastic wrap or foil to prevent them from drying out.

There are a few ways to melt chocolate. We like to use the microwave. If you will use the microwave, you will have to be careful that the chocolate won't burn.

Before I knew how to melt chocolate in the microwave, I burned it a few times and I didn't understand what happened.

Hi, I’m Dina, so glad you stopped by! I believe life is too short for bad coffee and boring meals. With my easy to follow step-by-step recipes, you’ll be surprised at how quickly a wholesome and delicious meal can come together. I hope you find something you enjoy!Chocolate cake + chocolate frosting + cute heart sprinkles = the most adorable treat! Today we’re making chocolate cake pops because many of you request them, especially after I shared my vanilla cake pops. Your wish is my command. What I love most, however, is that you have creative control. You can decorate these cake pops in your own unique way, which makes this recipe 100x more fun.

I have plenty of step-by-step photos and lots of tips/tricks. I want you to understand every instruction so you can follow along and know what the heck you’re doing. The process isn’t difficult– you’re literally just baking a chocolate cake and making frosting then mixing them together. Things just get a little particular when it comes to rolling, lollipop-sticking, and dunking/dipping. If you can make bread bowls, you can totally handle cake pops! (They’re more fun to eat too… sprinkles!)

Perfect Chocolate Layer Cake

By the way, if you’ve ever eaten store-bought cake pops– these taste totally different. They’re from scratch. No cake mix. No canned frosting. No preservatives. You can actually TASTE the homemade.

Quick tip: Whenever I make cake pops from scratch, I always begin the night before. I make the cake, cover it, and let it sit out at room temperature overnight. I also prepare the frosting, cover, and refrigerate. This way everything’s ready to go.

It might seem like the switch from vanilla cake pops to chocolate cake pops is easy. Replace some flour with cocoa powder, right? And vanilla frosting with chocolate frosting? I wish! Chocolate is a complicated soul and requires a little finesse, that’s why my vanilla cake and chocolate cake recipes are so different! I baked a couple single layer chocolate cakes before stopping at this one. The first few began with creamed butter + sugar. My favorite chocolate cakes and cupcakes typically rely on oil for the fat because (1) HELLO MOISTURE and (2) the flavor of butter really isn’t necessary because chocolate overpowers it anyway. My initial thought with cake pops, however, was that I needed a slightly drier cake to get the best texture for cake pops (because it will be mixed with frosting). Well this was just a huge mess from the start because dry cake is gross.

That being said, you’ll need oil for the cake. And a few other basics like cocoa powder, sugar, flour, and eggs. Hot water is
