Description
This Red Velvet Cake Pops recipe is simple, and quick, and delivers classic red velvet flavor in a fun, bite-sized form. It’s perfect for anyone who wants an easy dessert that looks great and tastes even better.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon red food coloring
- 1/4 cup buttermilk (or homemade – see tip)
- 1/2 teaspoon vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- Your favorite glaze or coating (chocolate, candy melts, etc.)
Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt, and cocoa powder in a bowl and set it aside.
- Beat the butter until creamy.
- Add sugar and keep mixing until fluffy.
- Then add the egg and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, stir the red food coloring into the buttermilk.
- Now mix the flour mix and buttermilk mix into the butter mix, going back and forth. Start and finish with the flour.
- Mix vinegar and baking soda in a small bowl.
- It will fizz, that’s good! Gently fold this into your batter.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each cake pop mold.
- Bake for 4 to 5 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let them cool, then dip them in your glaze or coating.
- You’ll get around 3½ dozen cake pops.
Pro Tip:
- No buttermilk? No problem!
- Mix 1½ teaspoons of lemon juice or vinegar with milk to make ½ cup.
- Let it sit for 5–10 minutes, and you’ve got a perfect substitute.
Baker’s Hack:
- To fill the molds easily, put your batter into a disposable piping bag and snip a tiny hole.
- Squeeze the batter in without a mess.
- Keep the bag sealed between batches so it doesn’t drip.
For the Coating:
- Melt chocolate or candy melts over a double boiler.
- If it’s too thick, add a little olive oil (just a bit at a time) to thin it out.
- Freeze the pops until very cold or slightly frozen.
- Dip the stick in melted chocolate and push it into the cake pop; this helps the stick stay put.
- Freeze again. Then, dip the whole pop in the chocolate to coat it.
- The cold pop helps the chocolate set quickly.
- To dry them, poke the sticks into a cardboard box with holes so they stand up. Once dry, you can bag them if you manage to save some!
- We made 3 batches and ended up with about 120 pops, perfect for a birthday party.
