Ingredients
- 15.5 oz package yellow cake mix
- 5.5 oz plain fat-free Greek yogurt
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- baking spray
- 48 ounces Wilton colored candy melts
- sprinkles
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons water
Equipment Needed
- 2 Cake Pop Pan
Instructions
- 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F. Lightly coat the cake pop mold with a non-stick baking spray.
- 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, mix all the ingredients for the cake together, beating until everything is well incorporated.
- 3
Transfer the batter into a pastry bag or a large ziplock bag, ensuring to snip off one corner for easy dispensing.
- 4
Fill the prepared cake pop mold with the batter, then bake for approximately 18 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through at the 10-minute mark to ensure even cooking. Allow the pan to cool for 5 minutes before removing the pops.
- 5
Move the cake balls to a wire rack and continue the process with the remaining batter.
- 6
With a pair of scissors, trim any seams from the cake balls for a smoother finish.
- 7
Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for about 45 minutes; this will help the chocolate adhere better during coating.
- 8
In the microwave, melt a portion of the white chocolate melts according to the instructions on the package, taking care to avoid burning the chocolate.
- 9
Dip the end of a bamboo skewer into the melted chocolate, then insert it into a cake ball (this secures the stick). Coat each ball in the melted chocolate and place it on a sheet of wax paper.
- 10
To conceal the small hole created by the skewer, dip the skewer again in the melted chocolate and apply it to the opening.
- 11
Continue this process with the rest of the cake balls. Before the chocolate sets, you can add sprinkles on top or drizzle with additional chocolate if desired.

Notes & Tips
- *I weighed the chocolate on each ball to calculate the nutritional info. Although the recipe calls for 48 oz of chocolate, not all of it will be used, but you will still need to buy extra so you have enough to coat the cake balls. I calculated 0.4 oz of chocolate on each cake ball.
