Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 box (about 15.25 oz / 432 g) funfetti cake mix
  • 3 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 1 cup (240 ml) water
  • 1 cup (240 g) vanilla frosting, store-bought or homemade
  • 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 1 cup (about 150 g) rainbow sprinkles
  • Optional: about 20 lollipop sticks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch (23×33 cm) baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the funfetti cake mix, 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, and 1 cup water. Use an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes until fully blended and smooth.
  3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs attached. Let the cake cool completely on a wire rack, about 1 hour.
  4. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl.
  5. Mix in 1 cup of vanilla frosting into the cake crumbs, starting with 3/4 cup and adding more if needed, until the mixture holds together but is not overly sticky.
  6. Using a 1.5-inch ice cream scoop or spoon, shape the mixture into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  7. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and silky.
  8. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate, then insert halfway into each cake ball to secure the stick.
  9. Holding the stick, dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off. Immediately roll or sprinkle generously with rainbow sprinkles while the coating is still wet.
  10. Stick the cake pops upright into a styrofoam block or stand and chill until the coating hardens, about 15-20 minutes.

Notes

Make sure the cake is completely cooled before crumbling to avoid mushy texture. Add frosting gradually to avoid soggy mixture. Chill cake balls before dipping to prevent cracking. Work quickly with sprinkles while coating is wet. Rewarm chocolate gently if it thickens. Handle cake pops carefully to avoid breakage.
