These delicious cake pops are fun and very easy to make. I always freeze any left over cake and when I came across some almond sponge cake and some strawberries in the fridge the idea for these came to mind.

Strawberry Cake Pops

INGREDIENTS

• 200g almond or plain sponge cake
• 100g white chocolate
• 8 – 10 small strawberries

For the Coating and Decorations

• 120g dark chocolate
• 1 tsp nut oil
• 30g white chocolate
• Pink sugar

METHOD

1. In a food processor blitz the cake to fine crumbs.
2. In a microwave bowl melt the white chocolate in 30 seconds bursts. You can also do this in a heatproof bowl suspended over gently simmering water.
3. Add the cake crumbs to the chocolate and stir to combine.
4. Wash and hull the strawberries and insert a lollipop stick into each strawberry.
5. Press a spoonful of the cake mixture around each strawberry.
6. Repeat until all the mixture has been used up.
7. Chill the cake pops in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
8. Break the dark chocolate into another microwave bowl and add the oil. Melt the chocolate in 30 seconds bursts until smooth.
9. Dip the cake pops into the melted chocolate and then push them into a block of polystyrene to set (you can get these from florists).
10. Sprinkle with the sugar crystals before the chocolate sets.
11. For the white chocolate decorations, melt the remaining white chocolate and pour into a small food bag.
12. Snip off a small corner and pipe swirls over the set dark chocolate.

Enjoy!
