Ingredients

• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup whole milk
• 1 cup vanilla frosting
• 2 cups candy melts
• 24 pieces lollipop sticks
• 0.5 cup sprinkles

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with baking parchment.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.

Step 9

Once the cake is cool, crumble it into a large mixing bowl. Add the vanilla frosting and mix until well combined. The mixture should hold together when squeezed.

Step 10

Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Roll the cake mixture into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared sheet. You should have about 24 balls.

Step 11

Insert a lollipop stick into each ball, then freeze the cake pops for at least 15 minutes.

Step 12

Melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to package instructions until smooth.

Step 13

Dip each cake pop into the melted candy, allowing excess to drip off. Decorate with sprinkles immediately before the coating sets.

Step 14

Place the finished cake pops in a styrofoam block or a cake pop holder to dry completely. Enjoy!
