Sweeten your summer. This cake pop recipe uses #Pooltime, our Belgian-inspired Wheat Ale brewed with Michigan cherry juice
Ingredients
- Super Moist Cherry Chip Cake Mix, 15.25 oz Box (chocolate would be tasty too!)
- Instant Vanilla Pudding & Pie Filling Mix, 2.68 oz
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 3/4 cup milk
- 4oz Bell’s Pooltime Ale, drink the remainder!
- 1/4 cup Canola oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vanilla frosting
- Maraschino Red Cherries, 16 oz
- 18-22 ounces melted and tempered white morsels/chips
- Lollipop sticks (could be located in the party supplies section)
Steps
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Spray a 13X9 inch cake pan with nonstick spray.
- Mix cake mix, pudding mix, Pooltime, sour cream, milk, oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Use an electric beater on low for 30 seconds to combine and for two minutes on medium to mix.
- Pour mixture into pan and bake for 28-32 minutes.
- Remove cake and allow to cool. Crumble cake into a clean bowl
- Soak cherries in Pooltime
- Add vanilla frosting to combine crumbles so that you can scoop the mixture. Use a little more Pooltime if needed to moisten.
- Use a tablespoon and scoop mixture, take one cherry and wrap mixture around cherry. Insert lollipop stick into cherry and place pop down on a tray with parchment paper. Repeat until all mixture used.
- Refrigerate pops for 2 hours until firm.
- Melt morsels over a double saucepan until smooth.
- Dip each pop into warm mixture, coat and place back on parchment paper. Sprinkle with red sugar for decoration.
- Dip all pops, decorate and let the pops sit until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve with more Bell’s Pooltime Ale.
Here are some tips:
- You can use a chocolate cake as well, for a nice cherry/chocolate combo
- When adding the melted chocolate, use a spoon to dunk in and out of the bowl
- Use small maraschino cherries if you can
