Ingredients (Makes about 20 Ghost Cake Pops) :

For the Cake Dough:

• 1 ½ cups (200 g) type 00 flour
• 1 cup (230 g) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 cup (95 g) unsalted butter, softened
• 3.2 oz (90 g) eggs (about 2 small eggs)
• ¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
• 2 ¼ teaspoons (11 g) natural vanilla extract
• 1 ½ teaspoons (8 g) baking powder (for sweets)

To Grease the Mold (16 cm diameter):

• Butter, as needed

For Decoration:

• 14.1 oz (400 g) white chocolate
• Candy decorations (like edible eyes), to taste

Ghost Cake Pops Recipe: Step-by-Step Instructions :

To begin making your ghost cake pops, start by preparing the cake batter. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and sugar, then beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs and continue mixing until fully incorporated. Next, pour in 3 oz of the condensed milk and blend everything together until well combined.

Gradually sift in the natural vanilla, baking powder, and flour into the bowl. Add the dry ingredients a little at a time, gently folding them in with a spatula. Continue mixing until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.

Pour the batter into a greased 6-inch (16 cm) cake pan and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon. Bake in a preheated convection oven at 340°F (170°C) for about 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely.

Once the cake has fully cooled, remove it from the pan and crumble it into a large bowl. Add the remaining 5 oz (about 140 g) of condensed milk, then mix and knead with your hands until the mixture becomes compact and holds together like dough.

Scoop out portions of dough, about 1 oz (30 g) each, and shape them into slightly irregular triangles to resemble little ghosts. Place each ghost shape onto a tray, then carefully insert a stick into the bottom of each one. Transfer the tray to the freezer to firm them up—this recipe should yield around 20 ghost cake pops. While they chill, melt the white chocolate using a bain-marie (double boiler) or microwave until smooth.

Remove the ghost cake pops from the freezer and dip each one into the melted white chocolate, coating them completely. While the chocolate is still soft, decorate each ghost with candy eyes or other decorations of your choice. Let them set, and your spooky ghost cake pops are ready to serve!

Tip:

Get creative with your ghost cake pops by using different types of chocolate or experimenting with various shapes and colors of sugar decorations!
