Cake pops are a fun thing to offer guests at parties, I mean, who doesn't love cake... on a stick. However, when you have a room temperature of 35 Cº things can get really messy.For my niece's birthday party cakepops we used our own and fabulous vanilla cake recipe and added some pink food coloring.
We let the cake cool off and then (my sister loved this part) mashed it into little bits.
Mixed the mashed cake with my favourite vanilla frosting and formed little cake ball.Now, since it's almost summer here and that means over 30 Cº, the mix started "melting" before we could make the balls so I suggest putting the frosting on the freezer before you mix it in.
My sister didn't have time to cover it with white chocolate as she had planned so we just dipped them on thin royal icing.because of the heat the balls kept falling off and everything looked kinda messy but the taste was great and everyone loved them.
Now for the recipe:
Easy no-mess Vanilla Cake.

Miracle Pan-Release
Okay this is not my recipe buy the original from Apron of Grace has dissapeared.
Just mix:
½ cup of flour
½ cup of vegetable oil
½ cup of shortening
Just spread it on your cake pan and bake! Keep ot on a air tight jar on the fridge.
For the Frosting I used Magnolia's Vanilla Buttercream Frosting.
The icing was made of only (a lot of) powdered sugar and (a bit of) water.
