Step 1

In bowl, combine flour, baking powder, & salt.

Step 2

In bowl of stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream butter & sugar until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time; add vanilla & mix.

Step 3

Gradually mix in a third of flour mixture & half of milk. Add in another third of flour mixture, remaining milk, & last third of flour mixture. Mix until batter forms (be sure not to over-mix.) Mix in sprinkles.

Step 4

Pour batter into 9”x9” cake pan greased with cooking spray. Bake (18-20 min.) until top is lightly golden brown & set.

Step 5

Remove cake from oven; allow it to fully cool. (Freeze to speed up cooling process.)

Step 6

While the cake cools, make frosting. In the bowl of stand mixer, mix 1/4C softened butter; add 1C powdered sugar & 1T milk. Mix & add in remaining powdered sugar; mix until frosting forms.

Step 7

Once the cake is fully cooled, crumble it into lg. bowl. (Be sure to crumble it enough to avoid any large chunks. This should amount to 4 cups of cake crumbles.)

Step 8

Stir 3T frosting into cake crumbles; use hands to mixing until cake crumbles & frosting are well-combined. This creates cake pop filling.

Step 9

Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1T-sized pieces of dough from bowl of cake pop filling. Roll each section of dough into smooth ball; place on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Melt white almond bark topping: Put almond bark in micro.-safe bowl; microwave (30 sec.) Stir & continue heating in 10 sec. intervals, stirring in between, to make sure almond bark is fully melted & smooth.

Step 11

Dip one end of lollipop stick into melted almond bark; push that end into a cake ball. (Be sure it only goes through to center.) Repeat with all cake balls; put full baking sheet in freezer (15 min.) to allow the almond bark to set.

Step 12

Once lollipop sticks are set with almond bark, dip each cake pop into almond bark to fully coat. Allow excess melted chocolate to drip off of cake pop, tapping gently to assist.

Step 13

Sprinkle cake pops with the sprinkles of your choice; prop lollipop sticks by using a glass or cardboard box to allow the cake pops to fully set without touching.
