Easy Pumpkin Spice Latte Cake Pops Recipe
These cake pops are made from moist pumpkin spice cake mixed with coffee and coated in chocolate. The recipe yields about 24 cake pops and takes approximately 1 hour from start to finish, including chilling time.
Ingredients
- 1 box of pumpkin spice cake mix
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup chocolate melting wafers or candy coating
- Sprinkles or decorations for coating (optional)
- Lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Prepare the Cake: Preheat the oven according to the cake mix instructions. In a large bowl, combine the pumpkin spice cake mix, brewed coffee, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until well combined.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake according to the package instructions. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely.
- Make Cake Crumbs: Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl until fine crumbs form. You can use your hands or a fork for this step.
- Form Cake Balls: Add a small amount of frosting to the cake crumbs (about 1/4 cup) and mix until the mixture holds together. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the Cake Balls: Refrigerate the cake balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate melting wafers according to the package instructions until smooth.
- Dip the Sticks: Dip the end of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and then insert it into the center of each cake ball. This helps the stick stay in place.
- Coat the Cake Pops: Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
- Let Set: Place the coated cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set completely.
