Ingredients
00:00 Introduction
Cake
00:17 Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and lightly grease an 8” or 9” (20 or 23cm) round cake pan with baking spray. Set aside.
00:22 In a large mixing bowl whisk together cake flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well-combined.
00:53 Add melted butter and oil and use a spoon or spatula to stir until completely combined.
01:40 Add sour cream, egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract and stir until well-combined.
02:23 Add milk and stir until batter is smooth and uniform.
02:47 Pour batter into prepared pan and bake on 350F for 32-35 minutes (begin checking at 28 minutes if using 9” pan) or until the top springs back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
03:27 Allow cake to cool in pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a cooling rack to cool completely. Prepare frosting while cake cools.
Frosting
03:49 Place butter in a mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until creamy.
04:05 With mixer on low-speed, gradually stir in powdered sugar until combined.
04:21 Add vanilla, salt, and 1 tablespoon of cream and stir until well-incorporated and frosting is smooth. If frosting seems stiff and too thick, stir in remaining tablespoon of cream.
Assembly
04:53 Use your hands to crumble cooled cake into a large bowl. Don’t mash it, just break it into small pieces.
05:48 Add frosting to the bowl and, using your electric mixer, stir on low-speed until mixture is piecey and mostly combined and will cling together if you pinch it between your fingers. Mixture will not be smooth and it’s better to not overdo this step (see video or photos in blog post if a visual is helpful).
06:33 Scoop dough by level 1 ½ Tablespoon and roll between your palms to make a smooth ball. Place on a wax paper lined baking sheet (don’t let the cake balls touch) and repeat until you have rolled all cake balls. Transfer to freezer and freeze for 30 minutes.
Dipping
07:15 You’ll need a place for the chocolate on the cake pops to harden: flip two cardboard egg cartons upside down and use a skewer to pierce a hole in the center of each protruding cup. Check that your cake pop stick will fit snugly in the hole.
07:49 When cake pops are nearly finished chilling, prepare your chocolate by melting according to package directions.
09:18 Remove cake pops from freezer. Take a cake pop stick and dip the very end in chocolate, then insert this halfway into the cake pop.
09:43 Turn the cake pop upside down and dip in chocolate until entire cake pop is covered. Lift from the cake pop and turn gently to allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the cup, then insert the stick into your egg carton holder. Space the cake pops far enough that they won’t touch and make sure to balance the egg carton (don’t place all on the same side or it will flip!).
10:01 Immediately add sprinkles after dipping each one (the chocolate hardens quickly). Repeat until all cake pops have been dipped. Allow chocolate to harden before removing and enjoying or storing.
Notes
Flour
I recommend cake flour, but all-purpose may be substituted. You would need 1 ⅓ cup (168g).
Storing
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, in the refrigerator for up to 9 days, or in the freezer for several months.

That's very good Sam thank you be bless nd your family
I have always wanted to make cake pops. These look good and easy! I will try making them with my nieces🙃
They are very easy. Have fun! ❤️
I'm anxious to try these, they look so good. I use a piece of Styrofoam wrapped in plastic wrap to stick my pops in. Much more secure, and I can use it over and over. Just an idea. :)
These look so fun and delicious! Thanks for sharing!
They are the perfect bite sized treat! 😊
Great video Sam, thank you for sharing the recipe YUM
My pleasure!!
Hi Sam wow this look great I’ve been looking for a good cake pop recipe my kids love cake pops from star bucks but I wanted to learn to make my own know I can with your easy simple to follow recipe thanks always injoy watching take care
Thank you so much! I hope you love them! This is a great recipe to do with the kids too! :)
These would be fun to make, yesterday I made your mini chocolate chip cookies you and your lil boy made. My daughter loves them!
So glad you enjoyed the cookies ❤️

Thanks Sam they look awesome and I didn't realise how easy they were to make! 😄
They're so easy!
My girls love cake pops and I’ve been wanting to make some! I’ll have to give this one a try!😊
Have fun! 😊
Luke is definitely missed. He would definitely love these!!!
🤣 He definitely did his fair share of "sampling" 🤣
@@SugarSpunRun Then I know these were great!!!
Very nice recipie Sam! They looks amazing! Very nice all your tips! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week and good month! 👍👏🍫🍫🍫
Thank you! You too!
@@SugarSpunRun Thanks Sam! ☺☺☺
Thanks for this recipe i need these fora kids birthday thanks❤
You’re welcome! Enjoy! 😊
I can't wait to try these! I just wanted to let you know that canola oil isn't good for you. Vegetable oil is better to use because it won't cause problems like canola oil. Canola oil is used in margarine and that's the main reason why butter is better to use and it's better for you. I just thought you'd like to know! I do love all your recipes and I love sharing them also!
Looks delicious and easy 😊 I can see Luke tasting all the ingredients if he was helping you 😅, shout out to your shepherd, looks just like mine !
🤣 I'm lucky if I get away without him sampling some of the ingredients.
Hi! Great recipe! I have a question. I have left over frosting and wanted to use that up instead of making more. How much frosting does this recipe yield?
If making cake balls would you buy the mini cupcake liners or the standard?
Do you put them in the freezer covered or uncovered
Sam can you please do a strawberry poke cake from scratch?
I will add it to my list. :)
@@SugarSpunRun thank you! All recipes I see are with cake mixes.
I feel bad for your stand mixer getting its day off again. Though I highly suggest purchasing a clear glass bowl for your stand mixer since they sell it at stores and online like amazon for example, but of course you do make awesome sweets with either a hand mixer or stand mixer. I never made cake pops from scratch before; I should give it a try -- thanks for sharing the recipe.
By the way your Shepard is so cute!
I actually have a glass bowl, but I'm not a huge fan of it. I've actually seen one shatter, scary stuff. I hope you love the cake pops! They are so much better made from scratch. :)
Beats paying for $3.27 for ONE at Starbucks so thank you, my son loves these!
Definitely! Hope your son loves my version too ❤️
I have only ever had cake pops from Starbucks and I didn’t like them. They taste so artificial to me! But there is nothing about cake pops that I shouldn’t love. 🤣 I exclusively use your cake recipes now. My mother couldn’t figure out why I didn’t just use a cake mix until I made your vanilla cake and she couldn’t stop talking about how good it was. Lol. I am gonna make cake pops for my cousin’s kid’s birthday party and I will definitely be using your recipe! Your cake recipes are my go-tos now. I don’t use any others and I go to your site first if there’s something else I wanna try to see if you have a recipe for it. 😂
I'm so glad you've enjoyed everything so much! I too don't like the artificial taste. Thank you so much for your support! :)
When do they soften?
Can I use Olive or Coconut oil instead of Canola or Vegetable oil??
Yes, absolutely! I would recommend olive or avocado oil. Working on moving entirely away from canola and vegetable myself but not 100% there yet.
What other frosting suggestions? Any variations flavors that would ruin thus recipe? I want to do lemon (instead of vanilla) or rum ones?
I can’t really think of many flavors that wouldn’t go well with a vanilla cake pop honestly. 😊
I have a question!?
Can i use whip cool to make the frosting for the cakepops. I don't have heavy cream 😢
Do you have milk by chance? That would work better, just use a splash less of it than is called for.
@@SugarSpunRun yes!! I do have milk. Can u help me with a specific portion ( tsp,cup). Please 🙏
@SugarSpunRun and also Thank you for replying 🥰 I am your fan 💗
I'm going to try this. I can never get my cake pops right.🤦♀️
Hope my recipe is a winner for you 😊
Mine turned out horrific. I was devastated. 😭
Oh no! I'm so sorry to hear that! :(
@@SugarSpunRun I think disaster started when I used regular flour instead of cake flour ‘cause that’s all I had. But from there idk, it was all downhill. I’m gunna try again soon. 💔
