At Sweet C’s, I add lots of tips in all of my recipes – because I am a home cook without any formal training, and I find I am more confident making dishes when I understand why it works, and what each ingredient means to the flavor of a recipe – my goal is for even the most beginner home cook to feel empowered in the kitchen.
I want each reader to walk away with a solid knowledge of each recipe, with all of the tips I’ve gathered from extensive testing of each recipe. I also answer questions my friends and family have asked about my recipes, to help everyone better understand the processes we use – and why!
Simple Cake Batter Truffles
I love quick, easy, and fun desserts. There isn’t really a time when fun, bright treats aren’t appropriate- my family loves delicious treats, especially when they are easy enough for the kids to get in the action and help make them.
My kids love learning about cooking, and love to help create in the kitchen. These delicious cake batter truffles are a really great dessert to make with kids- especially if they love sprinkles! They are easy to roll, are eaten raw, and have bright fun colors. Plus with just two ingredients, they taste great!
My daughter likes to call sprinkles “sparkles” and there can NEVER be too many “sparkles”. So if your kids are like mine, don’t do shy on the sprinkles! They aren’t part of the 2 ingredient count as they aren’t really necessary… but I will use any excuse i can to use as many sprinkles as possible!
If your cake mix doesn’t have enough liquid in it, you can add a dash (we’re talking a splash at max) of milk to loosen it (or water, but I prefer milk). Some cake mixes hold moisture differently and require a bit more, but it is hard to tell until you’re making the truffles.
The only note I do want to stress is that you get a delicious, high quality cake mix. Cake mixes are not created equal- you need one that is delicious right out of the box, since we’re just adding butter to the mix. I have made these with some cheap generic boxes of cake mix and they tasted a bit off- almost bitter. If you taste your cake mix before adding the butter, and it tastes a bit bitter, cut the butter in half and add a quarter cup of milk.
I actually like these more a bit cold- I like to pop them in the fridge for a raw cookie-dough taste and temperature. It is so good! And of course, not healthy at all. But sometimes you just need a hit of sprinkled goodness!

The cake Mix needs to be put into the microwave or oven to reach 160ยฐ for food safety.
Wonderful! Love it.
Would these be good to make cake pops? Covered in chocolate?
Totally! Sounds delish!
I’m pretty sure raw flour is up there with raw eggs in terms of salmonella risks. Try this at your own risk, especially children, seniors, and people with immune issues.Ri
Hey James – you can bake your flour at 350 degrees for about 5 minutes to lessen the risk – or buy pasteurized ingredients. There are cake batter mixes that have been pasteurized to prevent the risk with flour!
Would these work dipped in chocolate as in a cake ball/pop?
It seems the recipe may need more than 1 stick of butter… mine turned out a bit dry. Still tasty, though.
Yea, for some reason, each batter mix varies and absorbs moisture differently. If they are too dry, just add a little bit of milk (a tiny bit at a time!) to loosen the truffles!
