Description

These Strawberry Cake Truffles are bite-sized, no-fork-needed treats made from homemade strawberry cake and strawberry frosting, coated in white chocolate and finished with a fun garnish. Perfect for parties, gifts, or just because!


Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, pureed
  • For the Frosting:
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 34 Tbsp strawberry puree
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the Coating:
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips (or chocolate of choice)
  • Sprinkles or crushed strawberries for garnish

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add butter, eggs, milk, vanilla, and strawberry puree. Mix until smooth.

3. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

4. Let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. In a bowl, beat softened butter for the frosting. Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in strawberry puree and vanilla. Beat until smooth and fluffy.

6. Once cake is cool, crumble it into a large bowl until you get a coarse texture.

7. Add the frosting to the cake crumbs a little at a time, mixing until it holds together but isn’t overly sticky.

8. Roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

9. Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 30–60 minutes to firm up.

10. Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

11. Dip each chilled truffle in the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off before placing it back on the baking sheet.

12. Garnish with sprinkles or crushed strawberries while the coating is still wet. Chill again for 30 minutes to set.

13. Serve and enjoy!


Notes

Make sure the cake is fully cooled before adding frosting to prevent a gummy texture.

Use a small cookie scoop for evenly sized truffles.

You can swap white chocolate for milk or dark chocolate if preferred.

Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
