    The only cake pops recipe featured on my blog is my Red Velvet Cake Pops. Boy are they a hit! They made my top 10 recipes on the blog for 2017 so I just knew I had to make another cake pop recipe for you all.

    I love cake pops! I'm not a huge fan of cake as whole. Cake alone is never satisfying enough for me (unless it's my Malteser Chocolate Cake that is). Cake pops, however, have that extra oomph.

    I'm all about ooey desserts and dense desserts. I'm also all about fuss free, easy recipes. That's exactly what these salted caramel cake pops are all about. The mix of salty and sweet to create a rich and satisfying treat that can be a snack or dessert that is a crowd pleaser.

    If you love all things caramel you are going to adore these!

    We start with a caramel cake which I based off of my Salted Caramel Layer cake. I made the cake batter a little drier than usual as we want a drier cake for cake pops. Once we mix the cake crumbs with the sauce the cake will be anything but dry! The cake is rich and definitely does not skimp on the caramel flavour! Next we make an easy, four ingredient salted caramel sauce. Crumble the cake up into crumbs and mix with the sauce to create a damp dough. Roll into balls and allow them to set in the fridge.

    You now have Salted Caramel Cake Pops!

    Cover them with chocolate and pop them back in the fridge to set. I used dark chocolate to cover my cake pops for the sweet and bitter flavour balance but white chocolate would work really well with caramel also.

      Hi Emma! I tried your recipe for caramel cake pops and it came out perfect and delicious. I just wanted to point out the error in the recipe card that baking soda has been printed twice.

          In the ingredient list it has baking soda but in the instructions it has both baking soda and baking powder. Is it both? If so, how much baking powder?
