Ingredients

• 1.5 cups vanilla sponge cake crumbled
• 1/2 tablespoon coco powder
• 1.5 tablespoon chocolate melted
• 1 teaspoon butter melted
• 1 tablespoon icing sugar

FOR TOPPING:

• coco powder as required to roll
• color sprinkles as required to roll
• pistachios as required to roll powdered coarsely & as required to roll
• chocolate sprinkles as required to roll

Instructions

• Chop cooking chocolate coarsely and transfer it to a heat proof bowl placed over a sauce pan of simmering water.
• Melt it until creamy and saucy as shown below .Cool down to room temperature.
• Crumble the cake.
• In a mixing bowl – add crumbled cake, melted butter, coco powder, icing sugar, mix well.
• Then add chocolate sauce and form smooth dough. Chill the batter for 30mins.
• Then pinch small lemon sized balls and roll them to smooth balls.
• I used color sprinkles, coco powder, chocolate sprinkles and powdered pistachio for topping.
• Roll the balls in the topping of your choice.
• Chill it for an hour then serve.
• Enjoy your homemade cake balls!!

Notes

• Chilling overnight is best before shaping as it holds the shape well.
• Make sure your mixer is dry while grinding the nuts. I missed to check the mixie and it was wet hence the nuts was not completely dry as you can see.
• Be creative and use your favorite topping…You can use icing sugar, powdered mixed nuts etc.
• You can even coat the balls in melted chocolate sauce made, drizzle with white chocolate and refrigerate it until the chocolate is set.
• Keeps well for 3 days under refrigeration , depends on the freshness of the cake too.
• You can also use ready made chocolate sauce instead of melted cooking chocolate
• If the cake is very dry then you may require little more butter and chocolate sauce to bind it together as a dough. My cake was very moist so have given the measure accordingly.
• Don't let the cake balls in room temperature for more time as the topping might become moist.
• You can even use readymade chocolate cake and skip coco powder and chocolate sauce.
• You can even add 1/2 cup powdered biscuit(digestive biscuits).
