I am always looking for new recipes and especially new dessert recipes. My husband has a serious sweet tooth and doesn’t gain weight from it either. (I know, No Fair!) So when I saw a recipe on Pinterest for Cake Batter Fudge, I had to try it. I modified the recipe a bit and came up with Birthday Cake Fudge. Before you make this, a couple things for you to know. Birthday Cake Fudge is sweet, super sweet. Cut it in smaller squares. If you want to use frosting on it, only a small layer is necessary, again this is super sweet. At the end of this recipe tutorial, there is a printable recipe card. Be sure to scroll all the way down for it.
Ingredients:
- 2 Cups of Yellow Cake Mix
- 2 Cups of Powdered Sugar
- 1 Stick of salted Butter
- 1/4 Cup Milk
- 2 Cups White Chocolate Chips (the whole bag)
- Sprinkles or Icing or Both
Cost of ingredients, if purchasing at WalMart, and assuming you have milk and butter at home – $7 or less
Step 3: Microwave for 2 minutes. Your butter should be almost completely melted, if not stick it in for a bit more.
- 2 Cups of Yellow Cake Mix
- 2 Cups of Powdered Sugar
- 1 Stick of salted Butter
- 1/4 Cup Milk
- 2 Cups White Chocolate Chips (the whole bag)
- Sprinkles or Icing or Both
- Line an 8×8 baking dish with foil, very lightly grease foil – as you can see from my photo, I used Spray and too much. I wiped the foil with a napkin to reduce the amount of oil.
- In a large microwave safe bowl mix together cake mix and powdered sugar until completely blended. Add in milk and butter.
- Microwave for 2 minutes. Your butter should be almost completely melted, if not stick it in for a bit more.
- Stir together until blended, it will be a thick consistency. Then fold in your white chocolate chips. The hot batter will melt them as you stir. You want to make sure that all the chocolate chips are melted and completely mixed in, I also end up kneaded it like bread dough to make sure it is all mixed together.
- Put your fudge batter in your foiled lined pan, smooth out with spatula. I didn’t have any wax paper to place on top to help smooth out, so I used my hand and patted it as smooth as I could.
- Add sprinkles on top. If your icing these you can skip these steps and sprinkle after. I patted mine into place as I wanted them to a little “set” in the fudge.
- Let chill for up to 60 minutes, I did mine at 40 minutes. Then lift foil out pull back, add icing and sprinkles if doing so, and cut into 1inch squares.
