Red Velvet Candy Cake Balls

Well, when it comes to cakes and desserts, the first thing that I look for is a red velvet cupcake or cake. I love eating red velvet cakes/ cupcakes especially if it's filled  with a super yummy cream cheese filling. 

When I had the chance to discover my baking skills (lol), I decided to recreate my favorite dessert. We didn't have the a standard oven but we had a microwave oven, where we can cook a cake. :D

Here's an awesome recipe I've made and I'm sure you would love it. 

 The Ingredients

For the red velvet cake:

1 cup Pancake Mix

1 egg

2 tbsp oil

1 tbsp cocoa

3/4 cup water

4 small drops (2 tsp) red food coloring

2  small drops (1 tsp) of vanilla extract 

For the Cream cheese frosting:

4 ounce cream cheese spread

4 tbsp butter

3/4 cup powdered (confectioners') sugar

2 tsp vanilla extract
1 pack (250 ml) of All Purpose cream

candy sprinkles for garnishing

Procedure:

• Beat the egg in a bowl until foamy. Add water and oil. Mix it thoroughly.
• Then add the pancake mix. Gradually add cocoa and mix it together until no lumps can be seen. 
• Add red food coloring (amount above can be adjusted depending on the redness of the cake you want to achieve). 
• Mix in the vanilla extract. Transfer to a baking pan (microwavable container , in my case) brushed with butter.

•  Bake this in a pre-heated oven (350 degrees)  for about 10-15 minutes.  
• You can also bake this in a microwave oven for 2 minutes on a high setting.
• Once baked, allow to cool for around 15 minutes. 

• In a medium bowl, place the cream cheese.
• Add butter gradually until it becomes blended. 
• Mix in the all purpose cream.
• Mix in the confectioner's sugar and vanilla. Continue beating until mixture becomes smooth.

• Crumb the cake with a fork. 
• Pour the frosting mixture on it and mix it together. 
• Once everything is well combined, you can now form balls out of it. 
• You can either use a scoop or form the balls by hand.  
• You can create 13-15 balls out of the mixture.  Once formed, garnish it with candy sprinkles. 

Enjoy!
