Step-by-Step Instructions for Bakery-Style Cake Truffles
- Begin by gathering your very moist cake scraps and transfer them into a large mixing bowl. Use your hands or a fork to thoroughly mash the cake into a smooth, sticky dough, ensuring there are no chunks remaining. Scoop out portions using a cookie scoop or your hands, and shape them into uniform balls about 1 inch in size.
- Place the shaped cake truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in short bursts of 30 seconds at 50% power, stirring in between, until nearly melted. Stir in a tablespoon of vegetable oil to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Remove the chilled truffles from the fridge. Working quickly, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off, then place them back onto the parchment paper.
- Add decorative toppings or drizzle more melted chocolate over the tops for flair, as desired.
- After decorating, return to the refrigerator until chocolate coating is set, approximately 15-30 minutes, and serve.
