Day 5 of our 12 cakes of Christmas is now here! Today we will be showing you our Christmas cake pops, lovingly decorated as Christmas puddings! So simple to decorate and the perfect treat sized pudding for when you're just too stuffed from your Christmas dinner! All you need is a cake pop mould and you're good to go!
Ingredients:
For the cakes:
-120g dairy free butter-
-150g caster sugar-
-1 teaspoon of vanilla extract-
-2 eggs-
-160g self raising flour-
-20g cocoa powder-
-4 tablespoons of milk (we used soya)-
Method:
1) Preheat the oven to 180°C and use cake release or simple greasing around the moulds of your cake pops.
2) Cream the butter and sugar until light and unable to feel the sugar under your spoon. Add in the vanilla and eggs and mix until combined.
3) Pop in half the flour, cocoa and milk and mix, and then add the rest.
4) Put your cake pop mould onto a baking tray and use a teaspoon to fill each mould (not the one with the holes!) fill to the top and then add the cake pop lid!
5) Pop in the oven for about 15 minutes until the cake pops are cooked through (poke a cocktail stick in the top of the pop mould and see!)
6) Wait until completely cool to take the moulds out! Don't worry if some are slightly misshapen you can use these for other designs!
Once cooled, put your cake pops onto the cake pop sticks. Whip up some simple icing sugar and water until quite thick and pour over the top of your cake pop. Roll up 3 little red balls for the berries and then a leaf shape in green fondant for the leaf! place on top before the icing sets!
Happy Baking!
