Steps:

• Beat together butter and sugar using an electric mixer until combined. Add lemon zest. Blend in vanilla. Add cake mix, flour, salt, and vanilla and mix thoroughly. Add 1 Tablespoon of milk or more, if needed, to make a dough consistency. Mix in sprinkles by hand. Roll dough into one inch balls and place on a parchment or wax paper lined cookie sheet. Chill balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up. While dough balls are chilling, melt almond bark in the microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. Stir between intervals. Using a fork, dip truffles into almond bark and shake of excess bark by tapping the bottom of the fork on the side of your bowl. Place truffle back on the cookie sheet and top with sprinkles. Repeat with remaining balls until finished. Chill cake batter truffles in the refrigerator until serving.

LEMON CAKE TRUFFLES

• Add the crumbled cake and mix throughly.
• Scoop the cake ball mixture into uniform balls. Freeze for 45 minutes.
• Once chilled in the freezer, remove and roll each ball in the palm of your hands to create a nice, smooth ball.

LEMON CAKE BALLS (NO BAKE)

Steps:

• Process biscuits in a food processor until they resemble crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, you can do this by hand by placing biscuits into a zip lock bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Add lemon juice, rind, condensed milk and coconut (1 ½ cups) to the biscuits. Process or mix until combined. Roll a tablespoon of mixture into balls and place into extra coconut. Roll around to cover the balls. I tint my extra coconut with a few drops of yellow colouring for effect. Place in airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

LEMON CAKE BALLS (CAKE TRUFFLES)

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add cake mix powder, powdered sugar, cream cheese and mix until you have a ball of dough.Tip: If dough is too crumbly, add a little milk to make it easier to handle.
• Scoop out small portions of the dough and form little balls.
• Roll them in powdered sugar and enjoy.Tips: Instead of using powdered sugar, you can dip in melted chocolate. Prior to dipping them, chill these ball in the freezer for about 30 minutes so they are firm and don't fall apart.

CAKE TRUFFLES RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare cake mix with the amount of oil, water and eggs directed on the box. Bake in a 9"x13" pan according to package directions.
• Let cake cool completely, then break apart and crumble until fine crumbs form.
• Stir in the frosting until a dough forms. If the dough seems dry, you can add additional frosting, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
• Roll the cake mixture into tablespoon sized balls. Place the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet and chill for at least one hour.
• Melt the candy melts in a bowl in the microwave, heating for 30 second increments, then stirring until completely smooth.
• Place each cake truffle on a fork and use a spoon to pour the candy melts over the cake truffle. Tap against the side of the bowl to remove excess candy melts.
• Place each truffle on a parchment lined sheet pan. Top with sprinkles.
• Repeat the process with the remaining cake truffles and candy melts. Store in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Can be made up to 3 days in advance.

CAKE BALLS

Steps:

• Prepare the cake mix according to package directions using any of the recommended pan sizes. When cake is done, crumble while warm into a large bowl, and stir in the frosting until well blended.
• Melt chocolate coating in a glass bowl in the microwave, or in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth.
• Use a melon baller or small scoop to form balls of the chocolate cake mixture. Dip the balls in chocolate using a toothpick or fork to hold them. Place on waxed paper to set.

LEMON CAKE BALLS

Steps:

• I used a box lemon cake mix, but you can choose homemade if you'd like. Either way, it should be the equivalent of a 9x13 baked lemon cake.
• In a large sized bowl, mix together the powdered sugar, softened butter, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then set the bowl aside.
• Remove the cake from the pan and break it apart, crushing it until it's a fine crumble.
• Working in batches, add the powdered sugar mixture into the crumbled cake, stirring to combine as you continue adding the frosting.
• Once it is evenly mixed, use a spoon or portion scoop, to form the mixture into ball shapes, about 1 ½ to 2 inches in diameter depending on your preference. Place the balls into a separate bowl or plate until you have rolled all of the mixture.
• Cover and chill in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes, or the refrigerator, for 1 hour (until cake truffles become firm).
• Once chilled, melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring between each interval. Watch it closely and melt it slowly until the chocolate is smooth and totally melted.
• Place a rolled truffle on a spoon or poke it on the end of a fork and quickly dip the truffle into the melted chocolate. Place the dipped truffle onto parchment paper to allow the chocolate to dry. Note: if adding sprinkles or other toppings, be sure to add them before the chocolate has dried.
• Allow the chocolate to set and store in an airtight container.

LEMON FILLED CAKE BALLS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare cake mix as directed on the box adding the 1 teaspoon of lemon extract during mixing.Bake in a 9x13 pan as directed. When cake is done and cool enough to handle(but still warm)place into a large mixing bowl and crumble.
• 2. Add approximately 2-3 Tablespoons of lemon curd. and mix well until the cake is easily formed into balls. I like mine a little "cakey" but you can add more to you liking. reserve and set aside 1 cup of the mixture
• 3. using a Tablespoon form into balls and place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment or waxed paper. with the handle of a wooden spoon (I use my little finger)make a small well in the middle of each ball.
• 4. fill each cake ball with a small amount of the lemon curd. (I used a small frosting press that I have.) using the reserved cake mixture that you set aside take a small piece and carefully cover each opening pressing lightly so as not to push any of the lemon curd out.
• 5. Place in refrigerator or freezer for one hour.
• 6. Remove from freezer and dip each ball into melted white bark, I use a spoon to dip then transfer the cake ball to the fork and let it drip the excess off. set each ball onto waxed or parchment paper and let sit until; the coating has set. don't worry if you see a little spot or two that you missed you can re-dip that area with the left over bark after letting them sit.
• 7. store in a airtight covered container until ready to serve. ENJOY!
