How To Make Gluten Free Cake Pops

If you are looking for more gluten-free chocolate treat recipes, you’ll want to check out my Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Cake Donuts. My Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Ganache Cake is also scrumptious.

Gluten-Free Cake pops are a super fun way to enjoy cake. They are basically little individual balls of cake mixed with frosting, dipped in delicious, rich chocolate.

Easy

Not only am I providing the recipe for these easy gluten-free cake pops, but I'm also including step-by-step instructions throughout this post.

Gluten Free Cake Balls Recipe (3 Flavors)

For these gluten-free cake pops, you're going to need a cake. I used my Easy Gluten-Free Chocolate Cake recipe and cut it in half.

If you need a vegan option or to keep this top eight free, you can use my Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Cupcakes recipe and bake it up in a 9 round cake pan for 35 minutes.

If you want to get super fancy, and/or are a perfectionist like me, you'll want to get a foam board from the craft store that you can stick your cake pops on to dry.

The first step is to make the cake and cool it completely. Once you have your cake cooled, you'll want to put it in a large mixing bowl and break it up into pieces.

I've seen tutorials that tell you to cut the edges off the cake first to get rid of any hard or dry pieces, but I don't think you need to do this.

Once your cake is in crumbles, you'll need to add the frosting. You can use my recipe for frosting (below) or you can use 1 cup of your favorite frosting.

Sometimes I like to add Enjoy Life Foods Semi-Sweet Mini Chips into the mix with the frosting for some extra chocolate goodness.

When mixing in the frosting, you can use a spoon, but it'll work better if you use your hands. It helps the frosting work into all that delicious gluten-free chocolate cake.

Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop the batter into a ball and roll it in between your hands. Place it on your lined sheet or plate.

Once all the batter is rolled, place your sheet or plate in the freezer for 30 minutes to help the gluten-free cake balls firm up a little.

In a small mixing bowl, melt your Enjoy Life Foods Semi-Sweet Mini Chips with the vegetable shortening for 30 seconds at a time until melted. Stir the melted chocolate until smooth.

Dip the tips of the cake pop sticks into the melted chocolate and then into the center of your chilled gluten-free cake pop.

Easy Cake Ball Recipe

The reason for this is to help the gluten-free cake pops stay on the stick when you get to the step where you will dip the entire cake pop into the melted chocolate.

After all your gluten-free cake pops have sticks in them, place your sheet or plate back in the freezer for 5 minutes to help the chocolate harden.

Reheat your melted chocolate for 30 seconds and pull your chilled gluten-free cake pops out of the freezer. One at a time, dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate and twirl the stick to make sure the entire cake pop is covered in chocolate. Tap the stick on the side of the bowl to allow extra chocolate to drip off.

Gluten Free Vanilla Cake Pops The Easy Way — Your Gluten Free Kitchen

Repeat this step until all cake pops are coated. If desired, sprinkle Enjoy Life Foods Semi-Sweet Mini Chips or chocolate sprinkles on top. Leave the cake pops at room temperature to set, or place them in the refrigerator or freezer.

I love using Enjoy Life Foods Semi-Sweet Mini Chips because they are made in a dedicated top allergen-free facility, they are free of the top allergens, and they taste amazing. I use them to make gluten-free cake pops, in cookies, granola bars, cakes, brownies, and as a chocolate coating for ice cream sundaes and chocolate-dipped bananas.

They are my favorite chocolate morsel to bake with. If you don't have Enjoy Life Foods Semi-Sweet Mini Chips on hand, you can also use Enjoy Life Foods Mega Chunks for coating these gluten-Free Cake Pops.

It only takes about 30 minutes for your cake pops to set. After that, you can wrap them individually or store them all in a container or zip-lock bag in the refrigerator. You can use cake pop bags or zip lock bags.

If you are serving these cake pops during the holidays, you can sprinkle different colored sprinkles on top, or drizzle different colored frosting on the top.

When I make gluten-free cake pops, I make several batches at once and freeze them. Then I pull them out a dozen at a time when I need them. If you aren't going to serve them right away, you can store them in the freezer for up to six months.

They say memories can be linked to smells and that’s exactly what happens with this cake. One whiff of this sweet cake and you’re transported back to every single childhood birthday party you’ve ever attended or brought your own children to.

Boxed Confetti Cake will always be a favorite because of the nostalgia. It’s not just about the cake, it’s about all the memories and fun times linked to it.

The cake pops are held together with vanilla frosting. I used a half batch of my Vanilla Buttercream Frosting recipe; which is also the same frosting I use for my Gluten Free Sugar Cookie Bars.

To make dairy free cake pops, use water or unsweetened coconut milk beverage to make the cake mix. Use 1/4 cup palm shortening and 1/4 cup vegan butter in place of the butter in the frosting and coconut milk in place of the heavy cream.

I decided to serve these cake pops with the stick facing up. I think it’s easier to serve and grab a cake pop with the stick pointing up. If you prefer to serve them the other way, you can use an empty cardboard box or styrofoam blocks as a cake pop stand; which is what I did when I made my gluten free chocolate cake pops.

No Bake Chocolate Cake Pops Recipe (healthy, Vegan, Gluten Free)

Step 1. Prepare the Gluten Free Confetti Cake Mix as directed and bake in a 9×13 pan. When done, cool the cake completely.

Step 2. Make the vanilla frosting. Crumble the cooled cake in a large bowl into small-fine crumbs. You can crumble the cake by hand (which is what I did) or use a mixer.

Step 3. Add 2/3 of the frosting to the cake crumbs and stir until the frosting is incorporated. Add the remaining frosting if needed. You want the cake balls to hold together when formed into a ball. They’ll be firm and won’t crumble or crack.

Step 4. Use a slightly heaping tablespoon to portion the cake balls and place them on a wax paper-lined half sheet pan. Roll each portion of the cake into a tight cake ball. You’ll get about 40 in total.

Step 6. Once the cake balls are chilled through, melt the white chocolate in a deep microwave-safe bowl or glass measuring cup. Dip each lollipop stick in the melted chocolate and place in the center of each cake pop, pressing about 3/4 of the way through. Place the cake balls bake in the refrigerator until the chocolate is set around the lollipop stick.

Step 7. Working in batches of about, dip the cake pops in the melted chocolate until completely coated. Shake off excess chocolate and place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Immediately add the sprinkles before the chocolate starts to
