LEMON CAKE POPS FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a rectangular baking dish with butter.
• Cream 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter and sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking powder in a separate bowl and mix into the batter 1/4 cup at a time. Beat in lemon zest. Pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Combine cream cheese and butter in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Add confectioner's sugar 1/4 cup at a time, alternating with lemon juice, mixing until frosting has the desired consistency.
• Poke holes 2 to 3 inches apart into 1 side of a styrofoam block using a lollipop stick.
• Trim off tops and sides of the cake. Crumble the cake into very fine crumbs using your hands. Mix in 2 tablespoons frosting until thoroughly combined. Add more frosting if necessary until mixture is smooth and sticks together.
• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Roll the cake mixture into walnut-sized balls. Arrange cake balls on lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Melt 1/4 of the confectioners' coating in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Poke a small hole into each cake ball with a lollipop stick. Dip lollipop sticks into the confectioners' coating and stick one into each cake ball. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Melt remaining confectioners' coating in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each melting, 1 to 3 minutes. Dip cake balls into the coating; tap to remove excess coating. Scatter sprinkles over the cake balls. Stick cake pops upright in the prepared foam block. Allow to dry completely.

LEMON CAKE POPS

Steps:

• 1. Mix the cake according to the directions on the box, but add in the lemon zest and lemon extract as well. Bake according to the directions on the box. Let cool completely. 2. Crumble the cake into the bowl of your stand mixer. Beat for a minute to break the cake into small crumbles, then add a scoop of frosting. Mix and add more frosting if necessary until the mixture is able to be formed into balls but still a little crumbly. 3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Refrigerate for 2 hours or freeze for 1 hour. 4. Before removing the balls from the refrigerator or freezer, prepare your decorations. Have the sprinkles and cake pop sticks handy. Melt the candy wafers in a double boiler or the microwave. I like to pour the melted candy wafers into a 2 cup glass measuring cup for easy dunking. 5. Take out a few cake balls at a time. Take a stick and dip it in the melted white chocolate, then stick it into one of the cake balls. Dip completely into the melted chocolate. Gently spin and tap the pop to remove excess chocolate. Add some sprinkles and poke the pop in a styrofoam block to harden. Repeat for the remaining cake pops. 6. Store the cake pops in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze for up to 6 weeks and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
