Ingredients

  • For the Truffle:
  • 1/3 + 1 T flour
  • 2 t. unsweetened cocoa
  • 1/8 t. baking soda
  • 1/8 t salt
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 T buttermilk
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 t red food coloring
  • 1/4 t vanilla
  • 1/8 t white vinegar
  • 3 ounces cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • ---
  • For the Coating:
  • 12 ounces almond bark

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place 4 cupcake liners on the outside edge of a cupcake tin.
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder, set aside.
  • In a mixer bowl, beat together the oil, sugar, buttermilk, egg white, red food coloring, vinegar, and vanilla.
  • Slowly add in the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mix to combine. Divide the batter between the four liners and bake at for 20-22 minutes until a cake tester/toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
  • After cooling, crumble the cupcakes into a bowl, set aside. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Add the crumbs and combine well. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into your hands and then roll into balls. Place the balls on a plate and refrigerate at least four hours.
  • Prepare the coating by chopping the almond bark into 1" chunks and placing in a microwave safe bowl. Heat on medium power for 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted. Dip each ball into the coating quickly, using a fork to turn. Let them dry on a piece of wax paper. Can be made 3 days ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
  • ***Recipe is easily doubled and baked in a 6" round cake pan. ***
