This may be hard for some of you to believe, but this weekend I BAKED! In fact, Dana and I baked up a storm. Some people are contracting swine flu – I caught baking fever!!
Here’s the Q+DD on my Georgia Cake Balls:
1 – Bake the cake according to the instructions on the box.
2 - Let the cake cool completely. Once cooled, crumble it up in a large bowl.
3 – Add in the entire container of cream cheese frosting and thoroughly mix with cake. (Listen, I never said this was a Weight Watcher’s recipe…) You may want to use your hands, but be prepared for it to be nice and messy (and delicious)!

4 - Roll the mixture into quarter-sized balls and place on wax/ parchment paper (should make approximately 50 balls).
5 – Heat up the dipping chocolate as instructed on tubs. Place toothpicks into cake balls and dip them into chocolate. (I ran really low on the dipping chocolate, so I’d suggest buying four tubs.) Replace on wax/ parchment paper. Repeat as necessary.
VOILA!
6 – Refrigerate for cooling. Enjoy!
Ingredients*:
- 1 box of Betty Crocker red velvet cake mix + associated ingredients (eggs and vegetable oil)
- 1 container of cream cheese frosting
- 4 tubs of Baker’s dipping chocolate
- Wax or parchment paper
- Toothpicks
*(Seriously, that’s all folks…)
They are soooooooooo delicious and were easy enough to make – even I could do it! I will say, however, that my fingers are still dyed a bit red… Slick, a huge UF fan, would probably never reach for anything red/ black, nonetheless he seemed to really like the cake balls! Happy, happy cooking!
P.S. I guess I always knew I was going to be the next Martha!
