Gluten Free Cake Pops
These easy cake pops are a great way to use up leftover gluten free cake! Kids will love making them - they're perfect for parties, weddings, or Valentine's celebrations.
Servings: 12 cake pops
Equipment
Ingredients
- 270 g leftover gluten free sponge
- 150 g vanilla buttercream
- 200 g dark chocolate
- gluten free sprinkles
Instructions
- Add the buttercream to a mixing bowl. Crumble the gluten free sponge into the buttercream. Using a spoon (or your hands) mush the two together, until they form a sticky dough.
- Break off small pieces of the mixture, around a golf-ball size, and roll into a smooth ball using your hands. This should make between 10-12 cake pops.
- Gently press a cake pop stick (or use a sturdy paper straw) into each ball and place them on a lined baking tray. Place in the freezer for 30 minutes (or the fridge for 1-2 hours) to set.
- Break the chocolate into a microwave-proof bowl and heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals until melted.
- One-at-a-time, dip the chilled cake pops into the melted chocolate, spinning them gently to ensure the whole cake pop is covered, and to stop any drips.
- While still soft, sprinkle a few sprinkles onto the cake pop and then place the stick upright in a jar or glass, so the cake pops can set, before serving.

Notes
- For the sponge: I used leftover sponge from my hidden heart cake. My gluten free vanilla cake and gluten free Madeira cake would work well for this, but any cake will do!
- For the buttercream: If you want to make your own buttercream instead of store-bought, I recommend the frosting from my gluten free vanilla cupcakes recipe.
- Weighing Scales vs Cups: You can toggle this recipe card to convert the ingredients into cups. However, I always recommend using weighing scales – these are cheap to buy and much more accurate. And in gluten free baking, a tiny variation can make a huge difference!
