Method

1. Preheat oven to 325°F
2. Butter and line the bottom of an 8 cake pan with parchment paper and set aside
3. In a medium mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla extract together until light and creamy
4. Sift together flour and baking powder, stir in the salt and mix with a whisk to distribute evenly
5. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture and stir until incorporated
6. Microwave milk and butter in a heatproof bowl or glass measuring cup for 40 – 60 seconds until the butter is completely melted
7. Add oil and stir to mix
8. Add the warm liquid to the mixing bowl and stir until completely smooth
9. Transfer the cake batter into the cake pan and bake in the middle oven rack for about 32 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean with just a few crumbs attached
10. Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for 10 – 15 minutes before removing the cake from the pan and allow to cool completely on a wire rack
11. When the cake is completely cool, make the frosting
12. Add softened cream cheese and butter to a medium mixing bowl and beat with the balloon whip until creamy
13. Add powdered sugar, and vanilla extract
14. Stir to incorporate, then turn the mixer on high speed and beat until the frosting is fluffy
15. Crumble up the cake and add it to the frosting
16. Fit the mixer with the paddle attachment and mix until completely incorporated
17. The mixture should look like cookie dough
18. Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the cake mixture and roll into balls
19. This will make about 24 cake balls
20. Put the cake balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 – 2 hours
21. Melt the chocolate of your choice in a heatproof bowl over a simmering pot of water
22. Dip one end of a lollipop stick into the melted chocolate and push it in the middle of a cake ball
23. Dip the cake ball into the melted chocolate to cover completely
24. Allow excess chocolate to run off and back into the bowl
25. Add sprinkles over the chocolate coating before it dries completely
26. Allow the cake pop to dry by sticking the end of the lollipop stick into a foam block or setting the cake pop on a parchment-lined baking sheet
