How to Make Fall Cake Pops
Making fall cake pops is a delightful and creative process that can easily be done in your own kitchen. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and preparing a 9×9-inch baking pan by greasing it and lightly dusting with flour. In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: all-purpose flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and baking powder. Set this aside.
Next, beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. Add in the eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully incorporated. Once the wet ingredients are blended, gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently to form a smooth batter. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Once done, allow the cake to cool completely.
Once the cake has cooled, crumble it into small pieces using your hands or a fork. In a separate bowl, mix the crumbled cake with softened cream cheese and a bit of caramel sauce. The mixture should have a dough-like texture that allows you to form small balls. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a tray. Insert a cake pop stick into each ball and freeze them for about 30 minutes to help them hold their shape.
While the cake pops are chilling, melt the chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. This chocolate will act as the coating for the pops. Once the cake pops are chilled, dip each stick into the melted chocolate before inserting it into the cake pop balls—this helps secure the stick inside. Then, dip each cake pop into the melted chocolate and let any excess drip off. Set the pops on a parchment-lined tray to cool and harden.
Enjoy these delightful fall cake pops at your next gathering or as a sweet fall treat!
