Delicious, easy no-bake 2 Ingredient Cake Batter Truffles– taste just like cake batter and take under 5 minutes to make!
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!
- 1 package yellow or white cake mix
- 1 stick butter, melted
- sprinkles* optional
- Melt butter and add into a large bowl.
- Add in cake mix, stir well.
- If adding sprinkles, add and mix to make sure they are evenly spread throughout the mix.
- Roll into 1" balls.
- Serve and enjoy!
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!
They don’t need bake?
nope i dont think so
So yummy. I’m wondering if you can use the same recipe with chocolate cake mix?
So pretty & would be so yummy! Pinned & shared. Thanks for joining the party.
I am super excited about these Truffles! I could eat them all day! Thank you for sharing on Tasty Tuesdays!
How pretty these are! I love treats that are pretty and delicious!
I stopped by from Showcase Your Talent Thursday.
OMG, I love everything with sprinkles! These are soooo adorable; I only wish I didn’t have so many food allergies so I could make these!
