Equipment

  • Food processor

Ingredients

For the basic vegan vanilla cake

  • 250 g all purpose flour
  • 200 g granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 200 g vegan butter softened
  • 60 ml oat milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For binding

  • 100 g vegan butter softened
  • 200 g powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 tsp oat milk

For the chocolate coating

  • 300 g vegan milk choc chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil melted (or sunflower oil is good too)
  • sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 170C
    Combine ingredients for the vegan vanilla cake:
    Cream the butter and the sugar together with a whisk, then add the rest of the ingredients. Bake the cake for about 40 minutes. When it's out of the oven, let it cool.
    Whilst the vegan vanilla cake is cooling, you can prepare the binding. You will just need to mix the ingredients in a small bowl.
    When the cake is cool enough, break it into pieces and add them to the food processor to chop them up into smooth crumbs.
    Then you mix the crumbs with the binding sugar paste and with your hands, make golf ball sized balls. You should get at least 20-24 out of the mixture. Place them into the fridge for 2 hours, so they hold better.

  • Towards the end of the end of the 2-hour chilling time, you can prepare the chocolate dip: simply melt the chocolate chips (I boil water in the kettle and fill a cereal bowl half way having a smaller bowl with the chocolate chips sitting in the middle of it. The hot water will melt the chocolate.) and mix in the coconut oil/sunflower oil to thin it.
    Now it's time for the cake balls to come out from the fridge. Pick up the paper stick and dip the end of it into the chocolate. Use this end to pierce trough the cake ball half way. Now that your cake pop is on the paper stick, you can dip it into the chocolate sauce and sprinkles if you use any. You might need a spoon to make sore the dip is evenly covering your cake pop - just to smooth it all around.
    Place them onto the cake pop holder or clean plate and let the chocolate solidify.
    That's it! Enjoy!
