Cook Time:
35 minutes
Servings:
18 cake pops
Ingredients
  • ‌1 (15-ounce) box lemon cake mix
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 lemon, zested
  • 3 eggs
  • 32 ounces almond bark
  • 2 ounces blue sanding sugar
  • 2 ounces white sanding sugar
  • 2 ounces red sanding sugar
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 325 F.
  2. Add the melted butter and lemon zest to a large bowl and whisk.
  3. Combine the box mix with the butter mixture, milk, eggs, and ½ cup water until well combined.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased 9x13-inch cake pan.
  5. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until light golden brown.
  6. Remove the cake from the pan immediately and trim off the crisped edges.
  7. Place the cake into the bowl of a stand mixer and beat with the paddle attachment until fine crumbs form.
  8. Using your hands, knead the cake dough until a ball forms.
  9. Using a cookie scoop, form the cake dough into 1-ounce balls.
  10. Flatten and massage each ball until it is the consistency of Play-Doh, then roll back into a ball.
  11. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour and up to 3 days.
  12. Poke small holes into the bottom of 18 small paper cups using a toothpick.
  13. Heat the almond bark in a small crock pot until melted, or melt the almond bark in the microwave in 30-second increments.
  14. Dip the end of a lollipop stick in the melted almond bark and press it into the cake ball. Set aside and repeat with all of the cake balls.
  15. Dip the entire ball into the melted almond bark until submerged. Remove and tap off the excess almond bark.
  16. Pull the paper cup onto the lollipop stick until it is stuck to the cake ball.
  17. Using a small teaspoon, sprinkle the red sugar onto almost one entire half of the cake ball.
  18. Repeat on the other side with the blue sugar, leaving a strip of white in the center.
  19. Sprinkle the center with the white sanding sugar, then place in a cake pop stand to harden.
  20. Repeat with the remaining cake balls, and serve.
