Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 bites
Ingredients
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, empty the entire box of chocolate cake mix.
- Pour the melted butter over the cake mix and stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes crumbly and well combined.
- Add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, milk, and vanilla extract to the cake mix mixture. Mix until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into uniform bite-sized balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter.
- Place the rolled cake bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- For best texture, refrigerate the cake bites for 30 minutes to allow them to firm up slightly.
- Optional: Dust the chilled cake bites with additional powdered sugar or cocoa powder for extra decoration.
- Store the cake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Allow the cake bites to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Use Quality Ingredients: Since this recipe is simple, the quality of your ingredients matters. Opt for a good chocolate cake mix and fresh butter for the best flavor.
- Chill for the Perfect Texture: Don’t skip the refrigeration step! Chilling the cake bites for at least 30 minutes will help them firm up, making them easier to handle and enhancing their texture.
- Add Your Twist: Feel free to customize your cake bites by adding mix-ins like chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or even a splash of your favorite liqueur for an adult version.
- Presentation Matters: Dusting the chilled cake bites with powdered sugar or cocoa powder not only adds a beautiful touch but also enhances the chocolate flavor.
- Storage Tips: Keep your cake bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their freshness. They can last up to 5 days—if they last that long!
- Serve at Room Temperature: For the best flavor and texture, allow the cake bites to sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. This will make them even more enjoyable!
