Ingredients

• 1 box vegan white or vanilla cake mix (or homemade equivalent)
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup vegan butter (softened)
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons almond milk (for frosting)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 8 ounces vegan white chocolate chips (for coating)
• Sprinkles (vegan-friendly, for garnish)

Equipment

• Mixing bowls (2 medium size)
• Electric mixer or hand whisk
• Baking pan (8×8 inches or similar)
• Parchment paper
• Spoon or small cookie scoop
• Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler (for melting chocolate)
• Baking sheet
• Wire rack (optional, for drying)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the vegan cake batter by combining the cake mix, almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and well blended.
3. Bake the cake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool completely.
4. Make the vegan frosting by beating the softened vegan butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and fluffy.
5. Once the cake has cooled, crumble it into fine crumbs using your hands or a fork, then transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
6. Add the frosting to the cake crumbs and gently mix until the mixture holds together but is not too sticky. You want it to be moldable.
7. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
8. Place the cake balls in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up before coating.
9. Melt the vegan white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler on the stove.
10. Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or skewer to coat completely. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
11. Immediately decorate with vegan sprinkles before the chocolate sets, if desired.
12. Allow the coated truffles to set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips & Variations

For extra fun, try using different cake flavors like vegan chocolate or red velvet to mix up your truffle varieties. You can also experiment with coatings—dark vegan chocolate or cocoa powder works beautifully.

Don’t have vegan white chocolate? Try melting vegan candy melts or dipping in melted peanut butter for a nutty twist.

Store your truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
