Festive Christmas Cake Balls
Cake balls are a great way to use leftover cake and buttercream and you can jazz them up really easily by adding different flavours and fancy toppings.
Ingredients
- Cake Offcuts
- Vanilla Buttercream
- Vegan Chocolate Chips
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Crumble the cake offcuts in a mixing bowl until they resemble breadcrumb consistency.
- Stir in buttercream and sprinkles (if desired) until the cake crumbs are combined.
- Form into balls and place on a lined tray. I highly recommend using an ice cream scoop so that the balls will be a similar size. Chill in the fridge on a lined baking tray for 1 hour until firm. If you are short on time, flash freeze in the freezer instead.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave, checking and stirring at 30 second intervals.
- Dip the cake balls, one at a time, in the chocolate and use a fork to turn them to ensure they are fully coated.
- Place back on the tray and add sprinkles as desired. Allow to set before eating.

Notes
- The number of cake balls that you will be able to make will depend on the amount of cake offcuts that you have.
- Add flavouring to the cake crumbs and buttercream mixture if you wish to flavour the cake balls. These also work well with chocolate buttercream.
- Once the chocolate has set, the cake balls can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week. You can also store in the fridge or freezer if you prefer.
- Nutritional information is not provided as it will depend on the cake and buttercream recipes that you use.
