Chocolate Cake Truffles

Recipe Number 2!

I initially made these a while ago in July, and I made a new batch tonight, so here is the recipe and photos of tonight's creation. They are super duper tasty.

Chocolate Cake Truffles

The original recipe called for 5 oz of crumbled cake, instead I roughly tripled the recipe for a 16 oz (1 pound), 1 box of cake mix.

Ingredients:

-16 oz (1 lb) Chocolate Cake, crumbled (app. 1 box)

-6 Tablespoons of Butter

-6 Tablespoons of Cocoa Powder

-3/4 cup Powdered Sugar

-9 Tablespoons of Orange Juice

-1 whole Orange

Crumble Cake, sift Cocoa Powder, and Powdered Sugar. Remove lumps.

Melt butter, and pour over cake crumble mix.

Add 9 Tablespoons of Orange Juice (or 2 Tablespoons of Vanilla Extract, 7 Tablespoons of OJ)

Mix lightly, add zest of orange, and combine.

Place wax paper on cookie sheet, roll mix into balls, refrigerate for 20 minutes.

Decorate as desired. Suggestions: Melted Dark, Milk, and White Chocolate Chips. Melt half of bag to cover, crush or food process other half for decoration. Refrigerate leftovers.

I dolloped melted Milk Chocolate Chips on the truffles sitting on the baking sheet, and drizzled melted White Chocolate Chips on top.
