Cake pops!

I was resisting in falling into cake pops mania until ... one day I opened my door and dear John and his girlfriend came holding a bunch of cake pops in their hands ! And you can imagine the rest :)
Kids were crazy, and they kept asking me when I will do them again. So, we went and bought a silicone mold and sticks and here we are making them again and again. I continue to think that it's too much hassle but what the hell :) Let's share this mania with you, dear readers...

Ingredients (check also my cupcake recipes)
113gr of butter
113gr of sugar
113gr of self-raising flour
3 eggs
some cocoa powder (optionally, if you want a chocolate flavor)
Topping: 100gr of chocolate, some colorful decoration


Procedure

Start by mixing well the ingredients.
Pour in the silicone mold like in the photos and cover with the second part.
Bake at 180 degrees of Celsius and fan for about 20min.

Take the mold out and leave it to cool down. Uncover and take out the small cakes carefully.

Melt in a "bain-marie" the chocolate. Small tip: add a bit of olive oil and it will make it shiny! 
Once the chocolate is done, take a stick, dip the edge in the chocolate and stick it to a cake to turn it to a cake pop.
Do the same for all the cakes. Leave them to dry for a while.

Then, take one by one the cake pops and dip them in the chocolate. Decorate as you wish or check for ideas over the web and especially the youTube. Use a steady carton box that you have done holes before to hold the cake pops while they dry. If you are in a hurry, just put them in the fridge. If you are desperate, put them in the freezer :)))) We have done all of this !

One thing is sure, you will enjoy the result...
And if there is some left over chocolate, just dip in some cookies and indulge yourself and your dear ones :)
