How to Make Lemon filled cake balls
- Prepare cake mix as directed on the box adding the 1 teaspoon of lemon extract during mixing.Bake in a 9x13 pan as directed. When cake is done and cool enough to handle(but still warm)place into a large mixing bowl and crumble.
- Add approximately 2-3 Tablespoons of lemon curd. and mix well until the cake is easily formed into balls. I like mine a little "cakey" but you can add more to you liking. reserve and set aside 1 cup of the mixture
- using a Tablespoon form into balls and place on a cookie sheet covered with parchment or waxed paper.
with the handle of a wooden spoon (I use my little finger)make a small well in the middle of each ball. - fill each cake ball with a small amount of the lemon curd. (I used a small frosting press that I have.) using the reserved cake mixture that you set aside take a small piece and carefully cover each opening pressing lightly so as not to push any of the lemon curd out.
- Place in refrigerator or freezer for one hour.
- Remove from freezer and dip each ball into melted white bark, I use a spoon to dip then transfer the cake ball to the fork and let it drip the excess off. set each ball onto waxed or parchment paper and let sit until; the coating has set. don't worry if you see a little spot or two that you missed you can re-dip that area with the left over bark after letting them sit.
- store in a airtight covered container until ready to serve. ENJOY!
