Red velvet cake truffles step by step
- You can make a red velvet cake, but I just got the Betty crocker mix. Bake the cake as instructed on the box.
- When cake is done, let it cool. With your hands break the cake into crumbs into a large bowl. Add cream cheese and use your hands to knead it all together..
- Grab about a lil bit bigger than a teaspoon sized piece and roll into a ball. You should get about 30-40 balls. Place them on a baking tray and put in the fridge, while doing the next step.
- Melt the chocolate and add the vegetable oil into it. This will help make the chocolate "runny" when coating the chocolate over the cake balls..
- Place one cake ball at a time into the chocolate. With a fork, coat coat the ball and use the fork to scoop the ball out, let some of the excess chocolate fall off and put onto the baking tray. Repeat for all the balls.
- When done, place ur fork into whatever is remaining of the chocolate and then gently wave over the cake balls to get that zigzag effect on the tops of them.
- Put them back into the fridge for about 20mins. They are fairly dense, but my god delicious!! Enjoy.
The white chocolate shell and tender cake center work so well together! Red velvet cake is not the same as a traditional chocolate cake. Red velvet is made with cocoa powder, vinegar and buttermilk. The chemical reaction from these ingredients creates a red color. Often times, red dye is added to enhance the red color in red velvet cake.
