This recipe makes about 18 cake pucks
Ingredients
1 cake mix (any flavor, I used strawberry)
1 cup water
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
18 Trader Joe's chocolate covered marshmallows
1/2 cup buttercream
melting chocolate
Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil and water. Mix until fully combined. Pour batter into a greased 9x13 baking pan and bake at 350 for 18-30 minutes. Once done baking, allow cake to cool and then crumble. Add about a 1/2 cup of buttercream to your crumbled cake and gently mixed until combined.
2. Take your marshmallows and place them in the center of your small mold. Then pack in your crumbled cake around the marshmallows. Gently pat the tops of your mold with the bottom of a measuring cup, and scrape off any excess cake mix. Place your mold in the fridge for 1.5-3 hours or freezer (45 minutes) to chill. Keep pucks chilled until you are ready to dip them in chocolate!
Dipping Instructions
1. Melt 17 ounces chocolate + a spoonful of crisco or coconut oil for 1 minute. Continue to microwave in increments of 20 seconds until chocolate silkily slides off your spoon (110 F-120 F).
2. Place larger mold (with the Benty Cakes logo on the bottom) on the plastic tray and fill one cavity with 2 tablespoons with melted chocolate.
3. Place chilled center on melted chocolate. Gently apply even pressure as you slowly press the center down until chocolate comes up from the sides and covers the top of the center.
4. Scrape off any excess chocolate. If there is not enough chocolate to cover the center. Add chocolate and scrape away excess.
5. Tap the mold tray on the counter to eliminate air bubbles.
6. Repeat these steps until all cavities are filled. Start out doing one at a time, once you are comfortable begin doing 2-3 at a time. Take care not to do too many at the same time as chocolate will set.
7. Because the centers are cold your pucks will set up quickly. Usually it takes about 15 minutes on the counter depending on how warm your house is. You can stick them in the fridge if you're in a hurry.
8. You can tell your pucks are ready to pop out if the mold pulls away cleanly. if you see any chocolate stick as you gently pull, they are not set yet.
The most satisfying part is popping out your shiny, professional looking Pucks!!
