Soft, sweet vanilla cake mixed with frosting, rolled into bite-sized balls, dipped in chocolate, and topped with colorful sprinkles. These cake balls are perfect for parties, gifts, or anytime you need a fun, festive treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (9×13-inch) vanilla cake, baked and cooled (boxed or homemade)
  • 3/4 cup vanilla frosting
  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate melts
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate melts
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Crumble cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
  2. Mix in frosting a spoonful at a time until mixture holds together like dough.
  3. Roll into balls using a cookie scoop and your hands. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill cake balls in the fridge for 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes.
  5. Melt white and milk chocolate in separate microwave-safe bowls until smooth.
  6. Dip chilled cake balls in chocolate, tapping off excess, and place back on parchment.
  7. Top with sprinkles while chocolate is still wet. Let sit until coating is fully set.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or serve immediately.

Notes

  • Add frosting gradually to avoid making the mixture too wet.
  • Chilling is key for dipping success.
  • Use candy melts for easier coating if available.
