Another thing that you could do with them is to make cake balls or cake truffles. They are yummy and you could flavor them any way you want. Below is a recipe for cake balls. Enjoy
Cake Balls
- Ingredients
- One cooled cake – any size and any flavor (or you can use all those left over scraps)
- One bottle liquid coffee creamer – any flavor complimentary to cake – or anything to use as a binder, Butter cream icing.
- Melted Chocolate – amount varies with how many balls need to be dipped
- Parchment Paper lined tray/plate/platter
- Place cooled cake or scraps into a bowl in large pieces
- Using a fork, crumble the cake into a nice crumb
When it appears all the cake is crumbled use the fork, or your hands, and run thru it to make sure it’s all crumbled.
- Pour in liquid coffee creamer judging by eye, until a medium sized puddle forms, set aside for a moment.
- Place chocolate to be melted in a microwave safe bowl, microwave following melting directions.
- While chocolate is melting, put on and begin mixing the crumb liquid mixture.
Mix until a soft mushy dough forms.
- Once you get the mixture to the consistency you would like it, roll a small amount into a ball using the palms of your hands, or a cookie scoop, or a melon baler, anything will work for this.
- Place platter into the freezer for about 30-90 minutes
- After removing platter from freezer, take one ball at a time, and roll it around in the melted chocolate with the help of a spoon.
- Place dipped balls back onto the parchment paper lined tray for drying.
- TIP: Store frozen – un-dipped – cake balls in an air tight container sealed with both lid and plastic wrap. Remove just before dipping to help the chocolate coating set.
- Serve them cold.
