Cakesicles Recipe – This is how the cake on a stick is made
In principle, you can use any dough recipe you like. So if you already have a favorite cake, you can easily use it as a Cakesicles recipe. Then just crumble the finished baked cake (e.g. sand cake) and use ice cream molds to form the cakesicles. You will also find plenty of suitable cake recipes here. How about this, for exampleRed Velvet Cake, which impresses not only with its taste but also its color? By the way, the cakesicles and pop cakes are a wonderful way to use up cake leftovers. You need:
- 300 g leftover cake
- 60 g soft butter
- 70g powdered sugar
- 140 g cream cheese
- 600 g chocolate coating (white can also be colored)
- Eisformen
- ice styles
For the Cakesicles recipe, crumble the cake in a bowl. In another bowl, mix the butter with the powdered sugar and cream cheese. Then add this mixture to the cake crumbs and knead a dough with your hands. Then melt 500 g of the couverture in a water bath over low heat. If you use white chocolate coating, you can color it as desired with food coloring.
Cakesicles Recipe – No-Dip Instructions
Then put 1 to 2 teaspoons of the chocolate coating in the first cavity and use it and the spoon to coat the entire mold. Also pierce the hole for the ice cream stick so that it is not covered with chocolate. Repeat with the other cavities and place the mold in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden more quickly. Then repeat these steps one more time to get a thicker chocolate layer that doesn't break easily.
The troughs are then filled with the prepared cake batter. You need about 1 teaspoon per well. You can make it easier to distribute in the cavity by first forming the dough into a ball and then into a roll and flattening it a little. This means you don't have to apply too much pressure in the cavity afterwards, which could break the chocolate. Be careful not to overfill the trough. There should be 2 to 3 mm of space at the edge for the other layer of couverture. Then press one eachPopsicle stick into the doughand cover the small cakes with a layer of couverture (about 1 teaspoon each). Place the cakesicles in the fridge for 20 minutes, then in the freezer for 10 minutes and back in the fridge for another 60 minutes. The Cakesicles recipe is now ready.
Dip cakesicles in couverture
Alternatively, for the Cakesicles recipe, you can first fill the cavities with the dough, insert the ice cream sticks and then let them harden in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes. Before you take out the cakesicles, melt the chocolate coating. Then take a cakeon a stick, dip it into the couverture, let it drain and place the cakesicle on baking paper to set or stick it in Styrofoam. It is important that the couverture is not too thick.
