CAKE TRUFFLES
This recipe is from Bakerella, is super popular, and is very good. They are time consuming, especially if you make them for the first time, so plan for a couple days. This is a unique treat to give as a gift or to serve at a bridal shower, a holiday party, or any get together. Enjoy! Prep time does not include chilling time.

Steps:
- Cook the cake as directed on the box for a 13 X 9 cake.
- After the cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into a large bowl. Make sure any parts that have a more crusty texture (from the outside edge of the pan) are picked out.
- Mix the cake thoroughly with the cream cheese frosting (like you would mix meatloaf). Make sure the cake is moist enough to roll into balls, but not mushy; you may not need to use all of the frosting (I find that about 3/4 of the container is a good amount).
- Roll the mixture into quarter-size balls and lay on a wax-paper covered cookie sheet.
- Chill for several hours (you can speed this up by putting in the freezer).
- Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package.
- Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use two spoons to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.).
- Decorate as desired.
- NOTES:.
- For steps 3 and 4, I found it works very well to wear powder-free latex gloves (if you're not allergic). I already have them for cutting jalapenos. They don't stick to the cake, and no coloring gets on your hands (if you're working with a red velvet cake, like in my eyeball pictures).
- If using small sprinkles to decorate, use a 1/4 teaspoons measuring spoon, and sprinkle a little on the top of each cake truffle before the chocolate coating firms up.
- I chilled my cake truffles in the refrigerator overnight (for step 5), and they were easy to work with.
- I used a 1 lb. bag of candy melts from the craft store, but I ran out near the last 1/3 of my cake truffles, so I covered the rest with either powdered sugar or drizzled semi-sweet chocolate (therefore, I recommend using more than one bag of candy melts, or a couple of packages of candy bark available at most grocery stores).
- The recipe says it makes 40-50 cake truffles, but I usually get about 88 (I must roll them smaller).

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8 by 8-inch baking dish. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
- Using either a hand mixer or a stand mixer, cream the sugar and butter until light and creamy. Beat in the molasses and egg and continue beating until fully incorporated. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, ground ginger, baking soda, nutmeg, cloves and salt and mix well.
- Alternating the dry ingredients with the milk, slowly add to the wet ingredients, while mixing on low, until fully incorporated. Add 1/2 of the milk to the creamed butter, then 1/2 of the flour mixture. Repeat this process and mix until fully combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Allow the cake to cool.
- Once the cake has cooled, crumble the cake using the tongs of a fork and transfer to a large mixing bowl, making sure to break the cake apart really well. Add the Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting to a bowl and mix thoroughly. Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, portion out the cake truffles and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Once all the balls have been formed, chill the cake truffles for an hour in the refrigerator.
- After an hour, melt the white chocolate over a double boiler by placing it in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water. Making sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl.
- Once the chocolate is melted, dip the cake truffles into the chocolate and, using 2 forks, gently turn the cake in the chocolate. Place the chocolate covered cake truffles back on the wax paper and top with the chopped pistachios. Return them to the fridge to set, about 20 minutes. (See Cook's Note)
- Using a handheld mixer, or a stand mixer, cream the sugar and butter together until light and creamy. Add cream cheese slowly, one piece at a time, fully incorporating it after each addition. Add the grated ginger, juice, zest and vanilla and beat until fluffy and fully combined.

Steps:
- Mix cake, water, oil and eggs and bake as directed on box.
- Place cooled cake or scraps into a bowl in large pieces.
- Using a fork, crumble the cake into a nice crumb.
- Crumbled cake will be soft and fluffy.
- Pour in liquid coffee creamer judging by eye, until a medium sized puddle forms.
- Put on decorator's/food safe gloves and begin mixing the crumb liquid mixture.
- The cake central site says to use gloved hands because it's easier to get the feel of the mixture for consistency reasons rather then using a fork or spoon but you can use a fork or spoon if you'd prefer.
- Mix until a soft mushy dough forms.
- Once you get the mixture to the consistency you would like it, roll a small amount into a ball using the palms of your hands, or a cookie scoop, or a melon baller; anything will work for this.
- Place each ball on a platter.
- Place platter into the freezer for about 30-90 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place chocolate to be melted in a microwave safe bowl, microwave following melting directions.
- After removing platter from freezer, take one ball at a time, and roll it around in the melted chocolate with the help of a spoon.
- Place dipped balls back onto the parchment paper lined tray for drying.
- TIP: Store frozen - un-dipped - cake balls in an air tight container sealed with both lid and plastic wrap. Remove just before dipping to help the chocolate coating set.
- They are best served cold.

Steps:
- Heat the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from the heat, and mix in the cake crumbs and rum. Leave to cool at room temperature until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls, about 1 hr - don't worry if it splits slightly. If you're short of time, chill the mixture for up to 30 mins, stirring every 10 mins, until firm.
- If the mixture splits, stir again until smooth. Put the sprinkles in a shallow dish. Roll teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls, then roll in the sprinkles to coat. Will keep in a cool, dry place in an airtight container for up to a week.
