Ingredients

  • Duncan Hines Spice Cake Mix and ingredients to make the cake
  • Ghirardelli White Melting Wafers
  • Ghirardelli Black Melting Wafters optional, for drizzle
  • 8 oz. Cream Cheese softened
  • Pumpkin Spice optional, for tops of cake balls
  • Cake Pan I used 2 round 9-inch cake pans
  • Parchment Paper
  • Cookie Sheet
  • Microwave Safe Bowl
  • Electric Hand Mixer

Instructions

  • Bake your cake according to the directions. Pro tip: Use a paper towel and rub crisco on the inside of the cake pan. Then cover the crisco is a thin layer of flour. Doing this will ensure the cake will pop right out of the cake pan once it’s baked.
  • Once your cake has been baked and cooled, use 2 forks to “fluff” the cake. Basically you are chopping it into smaller pieces.
  • Put your cake pieces and entire package of softened cream cheese into a large bowl.
  • Use your hand mixer to mix the cake and cream cheese until mixed well. This takes about 2-3 minutes to incorporate all of the cream cheese into the cake. Once mixed, you should be able to mold the mixture together with your hands.
  • Using your hands, form small balls about 1 inch in diameter and place onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Place into the freezer until the cake balls are hardened and firm.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave falling the directions on the back. Be careful not to burn.
  • Remove the cake balls from the freezer and use a teaspoon to dip them into the chocolate covering them completely. Return to the cookie sheet.
  • If you want, you can sprinkle the tops with some Homemade Pumpkin Spice.
  • Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens.
  • Serve immediately or store in an airtight container until ready for consumption.
