My friend, Aravinda, who writes fabulous foodie blog Linguini and Colette, came over this weekend to help me improve the cake batter balls I first made for the mr.'s 30th birthday. The originals were good, but the consistency wasn't quite right, so we decided to recreate the recipe.
We used this recipe as a starting point, but made a few tweaks with ingredients and directions. The result was delicious!
Be sure to stop by Linguini and Colette today for tips and tricks on making these sweet treats!
No-bake

DIRECTIONS
1. Beat together butter and sugar, using an electric mixer, until combined. Blend
in vanilla. Add cake mix, flour, and blend thoroughly, until dough is crumbly.

We just made a bunch of cake balls this weekend. Delish. I have a question tho. What if i make lemon cake balls? I don't want to dip them in chocolate. Any ideas?
I've made your "original" recipe before, but next time, I should try your adaptation :) Love these things... totally addictive.
I'm SO trying to make these tonight!
I am dying to make but especially eat these!! xoxo
hi anon - when you're logged in as anonymous, i can't respond directly, so hopefully you check the comments again :) i think lemon would be delish dipped or drizzled in white chocolate, but if you don't want to use choc, try topping with fresh lemon zest or rolling in poppyseeds, sprinkles, nuts, or coconut.
I don't know how they taste, but they LOOK totally delicious.
Oh my gosh Ashley. Incredible. These look delish!
Wow, these look so good! And they are so pretty:)
