Ingredients

• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Almond milk
• 0.5 cup Vegan butter
• 2.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 1.5 cups Vegan chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Vegan sprinkles
• 24 pieces Lollipop sticks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, mix the sugar, applesauce, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and almond milk until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl.

Step 8

In a separate bowl, beat the vegan butter until creamy, then gradually add in the powdered sugar. Mix until smooth to make the frosting.

Step 9

Combine the crumbled cake with enough frosting to make the mixture hold together when rolled into a ball.

Step 10

Shape the mixture into golf-ball-sized spheres and place them on a lined baking sheet. Insert a lollipop stick into each ball.

Step 11

Chill the cake balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Step 12

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the vegan chocolate chips and coconut oil in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.

Step 13

Dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off, then immediately sprinkle with vegan sprinkles.

Step 14

Place the cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or a large piece of cardboard to set.

Step 15

Once the chocolate coating has set, serve the cake pops and enjoy!
