Easy Eggless Homemade Cake Pops

Easy Eggless Homemade Cake Pops Recipe Highlights

I love making cake pops because they’re a total crowd pleaser! They are fun and festive bites that both kids and adults alike adore. If you are wondering, cake pops are crumbled cake mixed with frosting and rolled or shaped into bite-size balls, which are then dipped in melted candy wafers (or chocolate) and served lollipop style on a stick. These cute eggless treats are super easy to make and dangerously delicious. Here I walk you through the steps to make your eggless cake pops at home!

Ingredients You’ll Need & Notes

Please check the recipe card at the bottom of the post for exact quantities and instructions (scroll down). You’ll need:

Cake: you’ll need to make a super basic cake, vanilla, or chocolate, or you can also make a cake from a cake mix box.Frosting: Since we only need a little bit of frosting, about 3-4 tablespoons, I personally prefer to use store-bought frosting.Candy Melts or White Chocolate: I’d suggest using candy melts instead of white chocolate for the coating. It comes in many colors so you can get as creative as you want.Sprinkles: of course, we need lots of sprinkles, but you already knew that!

Also:

Lollypop sticksStyrofoam block or a box to place the cake pops while setting (see photo below).

There are 5 steps to this recipe:

Step 1 – Make the cake

From Scratch: cake ingredients are straightforward, flour, butter, sugar, vanilla, and milk. It is super easy to make, and the taste is spectacular! From a cake mix box: If you are short of time, you can also use a cake box mix. To make a cake mix box without eggs, follow the steps in this recipe.

Step 2- Prepare the cake pops mixture

After the cake has completely cooled, it’s time to crumble it up and mix it with your frosting. As I mentioned before, I prefer to use store-bought frosting not only because it makes my life easier, but since we only need just a small amount, it is not worth it to complicate things. To make the cake pops mixture:

Step 3- Form the cake pops

It’s time to roll the mixture into balls. To form the cake pops:

Measure 1 scoop of moist cake mixture and roll it into a ball. Place balls on a lined baking sheet or plate.

Melt 3 oz (1/4 of a bag) of the candy melts in a cup in the microwave at 40% power for 10 seconds intervals until it flows easily.

Dip a lollipop stick about 1/2 inch into the coating, then insert it into the center of the cake ball. Only push it about halfway through the cake ball. Repeat with all the cake balls.Refrigerate all the cake balls with the sticks for 2 hours or freeze for 1 hour.

Step 4- Coat and Decorate

Now the FUN part! To coat and decorate the cake pops:

Step 5- Let them set!

Stick the decorated cake pop upright into a styrofoam block or box to finish the setting. The coating will be completely set within an hour or so.

Cake Pop Decoration Ideas

We love sprinkles here, but there are so many ways to decorate your cake pops, such as: Don’t add too much frosting, or your cake pops will turn out super wet and greasy. The crumbs must be barely moistened. Make sure the cake balls are chilled and firm when you dip them. To ensure the cake ball stays secure on the lollipop stick, dip a lollipop stick into the coating, then insert it into the center of the cake ball. Refrigerate or freeze. If using chocolate for coating, add 1/2 teaspoon vegetable or coconut oil to thin out when melting, so it’s easier to use as a coating. If the JUST melted candy coating is too thick and gummy, add 1 teaspoon of shortening, reheat for 10 seconds and mix. You can buy a block of styrofoam at crafts stores or Walmart. You can also use a box; just poke super tiny holes into it. Easy and cheap.
