I was going through my freezer the other day, when I came across a container full of leftover Fire Truck Birthday Cake from my little man's birthday last month. Leftover birthday cake is so delicious, but you can't really serve a deconstructed cake - and my tummy & thighs certainly don't need the extra calories!
So I came up with this - and it was soooo delicious! Because of the red fire truck icing, the balls came out such a beautiful rich red colour - but you could always add some colour if you just have plain leftover cake. You can also experiment with the flavour, or just leave it as it.
Ingredients
leftover cake, iced with buttercream
1 teaspoon strawberry essence (or any other flavour - or if your cake is flavoured, just leave it as is)
100g dark chocolate, melted
sprinkles, for decoration
Method
If frozen, defrost the cake. Place chunks into a food processor or Thermomix and process until fine crumbs form. Add essence. Continue to process until mixture comes together in a big ball and is quite moist.
Roll tablespoonfuls of mixture into balls. Assess the texture and if necessary, place in freezer for about 30 minutes.
When mixture is firm, dip in melted chocolate, sprinkle with decorations and refrigerate until set.
