Making Christmas

Making cake truffles requires a whole lotta cake



I saw someone talking about making truffles out of scraps of cake and decided to give it a go. Since I did not have any cake scraps, I baked a few.


Red Velvet, Devil's Food, White


Then I crumbled them up


Then I mixed in about 2 tablespoons of frosting and shaped them into balls. This is one layer, you need to use about 2 tablespoons of frosting per layer. They worked better doing one layer at a time.


Then I melted chocolate to roll them in



End results: Oh so tasty. (pardon blurry pics!)

1 9-inch, two layer cake yields about 50 truffles.

Then we decided to make cocoa!


I decided not to use ground cinnamon and just use ground caradmon


Be prepared for a big, huge mess.


End results!

Bottom layer is: 2 cups powdered sugar sifted with 2 teaspoons of vanilla baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper
Middle layer is: 2 cups of dutch processed cocoa
Top Layer is: 2 cups of powdered sugar sifted with 1 teaspoon ground cardamon

When you give them as gifts, give a little tag that says: Sift ENTIRE contents of container together, then return to container. 1/4 cup cocoa mix to 1 cup hot milk!

The jars are 1.6 quart jars.

You should try them!

I used cream cheese frosting in the red velvet and chocolate cake and chocolate fudge frosting in the white cake!

And yes, that is white almond bark on the chocolate cake balls, if you use it, you need about twice as much of it as the chocolate bark!

I am glad you made those, I love them! <333
