From the Chef: For our wedding, I wanted a vanilla cake with vanilla frosting. The baker made one for us to try, and my feedback was, "Can it be more like a box mix?" Despite understanding a sophisticated taste, there are some things that don't need any upgrade, and a vanilla cake out of box mix is one of them. These little batter balls bring that cake mix essence into a one-bite form.

It's such a nice change to find a recipe that's not loaded with chocolate, but is it safe to eat these without the cake mix being cooked? I really love this concept and the vanilla cake flavor so I'm thinking I'll give your method of cake balls a try Maggie and continue on with the rest of the recipe.

My brother would love these fun cake batter bites since he is a vanilla cake lover! This is a great no-bake recipe. If you did want to make cake balls from an actual baked cake, follow the ingredients and directions on the box. Let the cake cool and mix with a can of frosting or 8 oz. of cream cheese. Then, follow steps 3-8 of this recipe!
