Inspired by one of my dear friends, Lauren, who is a red velvet fiend, I decided this Valentine's Day to take a stab at some cake balls! This was really easy and they turned out great! Super delicious!! There is an easier process than the one I followed, which is basically just using pre-boxed cake mix and baking following directions on the back of the box, but I like to bake from scratch. Either way they'll turn out great! INGREDIENTS:
CAKE 1 ¾ Cups All-Purpose Flour 2 Tbsp plus 1 Tsp sifted natural cocoa powder 1 Tsp Baking Soda ½ Tsp Salt 1 Cup Buttermilk, at room temperature 1 Tsp apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar ½ Cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature, cut into pieces 1 ½ Cups sugar 1 Tsp Vanilla 1 Tbsp Red liquid or gel food coloring 2 Large Eggs, at room temperature 1 16oz. Container of Cream Cheese Frosting (ready made) 1 Lb Chocolate (I used Candy Quik, did both Milk Chocolate and Vanilla) Decorations as you like! I used sparkly sprinkles and cookie icing DIRECTIONS In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, combine wet ingredients. Gradually incorporate the dry into the wet and mix well at medium speed for approximately 2 minutes. Grease and lightly flour a 9 x 13 baking pan. Add cake mix and bake at 350 for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck into center of the cake comes out clean. Allow cake to completely cool in pan, on a baking rack. After cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into large bowl. Mix thoroughly with full container of cream cheese frosting. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on cookie sheet. Chill for several hours or use your freezer to speed up the process. Melt chocolate in microwave per directions on package. Use a spoon and fork to roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. Decorate the balls AS SOON AS YOU SET THEM DOWN ON THE WAX PAPER! The chocolate sets quickly, you won't be able to add sprinkles after they are set. Voila! Enjoy! This belly slimming detox water will get you energy and help you feel lighter and tighter, combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise! Why this combo? 1.

Water: helps flush toxins and waste through our system while keeping us hydrated. 3. Lemon: stimulates the digestive track so it’s helpful if you have constipation, heartburn, or gas. 4. Mint: helps you digest effectively because it improves the flow of bile from the liver to the gallbladder to the small intestine to break down dietary fats. It also helps relax cramped up stomach muscles. 5. Orange: contains flavonoids in the peel and juice that stimulate the immune system and protects against a fungi/pests while helping to reduce cholesterol levels. 6. Berries work as antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. 1-2 Litres of Water 1 Cucumber 1 Lemon 2 Limes 1 Orange 10 Raspberries Handful of Blueberries Ice 10-12 Mint Leaves Slice lemons, cucumbers, limes and oranges.
