Easy Vanilla Chocolate Cake Pops (Pop Cakes) Without Mold

A recipe from Vanilla chocolate cake pops (pop cakes) to make without a mold, what do you think? We can't resist its round shape and its very soft heart!

I specify indeed "without mold" because there are two ways to make these cake pops. I have always preferred the version without a mold for two reasons: it is a purchase that is not useful and it is better to make it without a mold since we create the balls ourselves, which are therefore well rounded, and fondant thanks to the addition of a binder (fresh cheese, mascarpone, spread, etc.)

How to make these chocolate vanilla cake pops?

For this cake pop recipe, I chose to make a creamy vanilla heart made up of a vanilla cake cooked and crumbled then mixed with mascarpone .

You will then need to melt some dark chocolate pastry (or other chocolate) and dip the balls in to cover them. I prick them before with sticks and then dry them.

How to hold the cake pops?

Different solutions are possible. The simplest ? Take a tall and wide glass, pour sand or small balls into it, then place the cake pops in it. Another option, if you have a block of polystyrene or floral green foam, you just have to stick them in (having covered the blocks with a pretty fabric for example).

In addition there is another solution: a transparent support to line up the cake pops, very practical for drying them after icing and very elegant to serve them (I put the link to my material under the recipe).

If you like cake pops, you will definitely like this recipe too: Nutella cake pops.

• 100 g all-purpose flour
• 1 cc baking powder
• 1 cc natural vanilla extract

Cake pops decoration

• 200 g mascarpone
• 300 g dark chocolate pastry

Prepare in advance 

• Preheat the oven to 180 ° traditional heat.
• In a bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar. Add the melted butter, mix.
• Rain in the flour and baking powder while continuing to mix. Finally add the liquid vanilla extract.
• Pour the dough into a buttered 20cm mold. Bake for 28 minutes. Check for doneness with the tip of a knife. Let cool on rack.
• Unmold the cake thus obtained and put it in a blender to reduce it to crumbs. Add the mascarpone and knead everything until a homogeneous texture is obtained.
• Then form small balls with your hands, place them on a baking sheet and place them in the freezer for 10 minutes so that the balls are quite firm.
• In a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate pastry. Take a lollipop stick and dip it 1 cm in the chocolate icing, then push a ball of cake pop in about 1,5 cm.
• Then completely dip the cake pop in the icing, tap well on the rim while turning the stick so that the excess falls.
• Then it's time to decorate! Sprinkle with sprinkles or confetti of any color, as you wish. Then prick the stick on the support for drying.
