Earth Day Cake Balls
These cake balls are so fun for Earth Day!
Ingredients
Paleo Vanilla Cake Ingredients:
- 6 eggs room temperature
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted
- 1/3 cup coconut cream (the thick part at the top of a can of chilled coconut milk) melted
- 2/3 cup raw honey
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
Sweet Cream Cheese Icing Ingredients:
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 3 tbsp butter melted
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Other Ingredients
- natural green and blue dye
- 1 cup dark chocolate melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease 2 round or square pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- Blend together the eggs, vanilla, coconut oil, coconut cream, and honey until smooth. Add in the flour and baking powder and mix together.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 2 pans. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. While baking, blend together the icing ingredients.
- Once cakes have cooled, add the cake from each pan to a separate bowl. Use a fork (or your hands) to break the cake apart. Add half of the icing to each bowl and mix together. Add green dye to one bowl and blue dye to the other bowl and mix. Add more dye to get desired hue.
- Combine about 1 1/2 tsp of each color together and roll into a ball to get a globe. Once all of the balls have been made, place in the fridge for 10 minutes to firm.
- Dip the balls in melted chocolate, and use a fork to carefully place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add sprinkles, if desired. Refrigerate for 10 minutes to set and then enjoy!
