Ingredients
Cake
1 box white cake mix
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa
1 teaspoon blue paste food color
1 tablespoon red liquid food color
Frosting
8-ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2-3 cups powdered sugar
red, white and blue candy melts
assorted sprinkles
sucker sticks, if desired
Instructions
Make the cake:
Preheat the oven to 325F.
Grease the bottom and sides of
2 ×8-inch baking dishes.
In a large bowl, beat the cake mix,
buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs and
cocoa on low speed until moistened.
Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes,
scraping sides occasionally.
Divide the batter evenly into 2 bowl.
Add the blue food coloring paste to
one and the red coloring to the second.
Spread the blue cake batter in one
prepared dish and the red cake batter
in the second prepared cake dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30
minutes, or until a toothpick inserted
in the center comes out clean.
Remove cakes from oven and cool completely.
Make the frosting:
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the
cream cheese and butter and cream until
smooth.
Add in the powdered sugar until the desired
sweetness and consistency.
To make the cake balls:
Crumble the blue velvet cake in one large
bowl, and the red velvet cake in another
large bowl.
Divide the frosting evenly between the
two bowls.
Mix the cake and the frosting completely.
(I think it's easiest to do this with your
hands!) Form the cake into balls and
refrigerate until ready to use.
Melt the candy melts and dip the cake
balls in the melted candy melts.
Immediately sprinkle with sprinkles, if
desired.
