Chocolate Cake Pops Recipe
This is an eggless chocolate cake pop recipe and uses the same ingredients as an eggless chocolate cake. Below is a full list of ingredients
Making chocolate pops may sound like a daunting task but they are fairly easy to make at home using a cake pop maker.
The first step is to make a cake batter and then bake it in the cake pop machine. I have used the Babycakes cake pop maker to make these cake pops.

In a large mixing bowl add all the dry ingredients followed by the wet ingredients. Then, using a hand blender or an electric mixer, mix everything into a smooth batter.
Prep the cake pop maker as per the directions. I usually apply oil to the molds with a basting brush and then preheat them until it is ready. This takes about 2-3 minutes.
The most tricky task is to pour the cake mixture into the cake pop molds. It may require a few trials but it can become really easy once you get a hang of it.

You can pour the cake mixture (about 1 tablespoon) into the molds using a spoon, cookie scoop, or a cake piping bag or just directly from the mixing bowl. Be careful not to fill it to the rim else it can overflow while baking.
These chocolate cake pops are ready in a matter of minutes in the cake pop maker. After pouring the cake batter into the molds, let the cake pops bake for 5 minutes.
Once you open the lid, allow the cake pops to cool down for a couple of minutes. Ensure the power cord is unplugged while they are cooling.

Now with the help of the fork provided with the cake pop maker, carefully remove the cake pops. If needed gently slide the fork to release the cake pop from the sides of the mold.
Remove each cake pop and place it in a tray and allow it to cool down further. Once it is completely cooled down, insert the sticks (from the softer or top side of the cake pop) until halfway in the cake pop and decorate them as you like!
In a medium size microwave-safe bowl, pour the melting chocolate chips. I personally like to use Ghirardelli's dark melting chocolate wafers but other candy melts will work as well. Using the defrost setting, melt the chocolate wafers for about 30-45 seconds. Stir it with a whisk to smooth and runny consistency chocolate.

Dip the cake pops in the melting chocolate and cover it evenly. A cake pop may slide from the stick if a lot of chocolate is put on top of it. As a beginner, it might be helpful to just apply the melted chocolate into a thin layer with the help of a spoon.
Place the cake pop on the stand to allow the chocolate to dry. To decorate, apply some icing or some sprinkles of your choice after 2-3 minutes. Allow the chocolate to dry out completely.
It is best to make cake pops a day before the event. However, it can stay fresh for 2-3 days at room temperature.

Well it turns out, it’s a great little machine and extremely useful. I LOVE the taste of cake pops made this way, compared to the cake and frosting method, and you can add a filling if you like.
Kohls often has it on sale and if you can catch it with a sale and a coupon, you can usually get a great price.
Homemade Cake Pops
The question I get the most about the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker is how I get my cake pops round, with many people telling me that theirs come out flat or and odd shape. My immediate question is if they used a regular cake mix or a recipe from Babycakes.
Given that a regular mix still requires adding ingredients, measuring and mixing, it only takes a few more quick steps to make them from scratch using one of the Babycakes recipes. Making a recipe from scratch with the cake pop maker is still quicker than the original method of baking a cake, and then chopping it up and mixing it with frosting and shaping the balls by hand.
EDITED TO ADD: As of 2017, it looks like the recipes are no longer available on the website unfortunately. Never fear, I have a chocolate cake pop recipe at the end of this post, and you can find the VANILLA CAKE POP MAKER RECIPE here.

Babycakes has their instruction manual, with recipes (previously available on their website). I absolutely LOVE the vanilla cake pop recipe that is in the manual, and it’s my go to recipe for cake pops, it reminds me of pound cake. I’ve found each one that I’ve tried to be delicious and they work great with the machine. I am very excited that they have a brand new cookbook of cake pop recipes with 175 cake pop recipes. I can not wait to try them.
My take is that if you are going to use the machine, use one of their recipes. They’ve been developed for and tested in the Babycakes machine. The included instruction manual includes some great recipes.
I’m not saying cake mixes won’t work, I just think that it makes sense that you will get the best results following a recipe that was made specifically for this purpose. The Babycakes recipes seem to produce a much thicker batter, which certainly makes it easier to fill the wells of the machine.

The batter is so thick that put my batter into a Ziploc freezer bag and “pipe” it into the wells. I tried this with a cake mix and it was not fun, the cake mix was just too runny. I also saw a suggestion to usea Pancake Pen for the batter. This sounds like an excellent idea that I might have to try.
As of 2019, it appears that Babycakes no longer sells cake pop mixes. I’ve seen this cake pop mix on Amazon, but can’t speak to the results it produces.
If you want to use a store bought mix, I recommend cutting back on the amount of liquid in the recipe. This is something that is likely going to be different with each brand and flavor, meaning there is no blanket “cut back x amount”. I would also recommend adding a bit more baking powder to the mix, even if just half a teaspoon.

Another fun thing about making your cake pops with the Babycakes machine is that you can easily add/inject a filling into the cake pops! We’ve only used frosting (because we love frosting) but I’m sure you could put lots of other yummy fillings in.
Also, check out this fantastic video from Ahh’s Cakes where she uses the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker and goes through every step – it’s about ten minutes long and very helpful. She appears to be using one of the Pancake Pens to dispense her batter.
The Babycakes Cakepop Maker might take a bit of practice (though I have to say my very first batch turned out quite nicely), but I really think it’s worth figuring it out, especially if you need to make large batches of cake pops. It also makes some delicious donut holes. There are other cake pop makers and pans, such as cake pop pans. I haven’t tried it, so can’t speak for how it works.

Tip: If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, pour ¾ teaspoons lemon juice or vinegar into a glass measuring cup. Add milk to equal ¼ cup. Allow to stand 5 to 10 minutes, then use in place of buttermilk in this recipe.
