📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the cake according to package directions; bake in a 9-by-13-inch pan. Cover the cake with a dishtowel and allow to cool completely.
2
Once the cake has cooled, begin gently crumbling it: To a large bowl, add sections of the cake, 1/4 of the cake at a time, to crumble. When you’re finished, you should have a bunch of very fine cake crumbs.
3
Use two forks to work the icing into the cake until the icing is no longer visible. (Even if you use white icing with devil's food cake, the white will eventually blend in entirely.)
4
Next, roll the mixture into balls, about walnut sized. (A small ice cream scoop could help with this.) Pop ‘em in the freezer, uncovered, for at least an hour. The cake balls need to be very firm before coating them.
5
When the cake balls are nice and firm, prepare a double boiler. Place the melting chocolate pieces into the bowl of a double boiler. Stir, occasionally, until the chocolate is melted and smooth; set aside.
6
Insert a stick sideways into each cake ball (paying attention to the flat part on the bottom). Now, you can either roll the ball in the chocolate, or spoon it over the top—whatever's easier for you. Be sure to thoroughly coat the bottom of the ball where it meets the stick. Lay them back down onto wax or parchment paper, paying attention to the flat part (get it against the parchment again.) Now, decorate and get as creative as you want!
