Ingredients

For the Cake Balls:

1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Cocoa Powder
½ Teaspoon Salt
1 Cup Vegetable Oil
1 Cup Buttermilk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 Tablespoon Red Food Coloring
2 Eggs

For the Coating:

1 Bag White Chocolate Chips
1 Teaspoon Vegetable Oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, red food coloring, and eggs and mix until just combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread evenly. Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before crumbling it into a large bowl.
Using your hands, mix the crumbled cake with 1 cup of white chocolate chips until evenly combined.
Form the cake mixture into small, round balls and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Melt the remaining white chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in the microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted.
Using a spoon, dip each cake ball into the melted white chocolate and place back onto the baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set before serving.
Enjoy!
