Ingredients
  

Cake Ingredients
  • 1 box yellow cake mix
  • 1 cup lime juice
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 pieces eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Zest of 2 limes
Coating and Garnish
  • White chocolate for coating
  • Lime wedges for garnish (optional)
  • Coarse salt for garnish (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the yellow cake mix, lime juice, sweetened condensed milk, vegetable oil, eggs, salt, and lime zest. Stir until smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.
Assembly
  1. Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl until it resembles fine crumbs. Use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Pop the baking sheet into the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
  3. While the balls are chilling, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, and make sure they are well-coated.
  4. If you like, sprinkle some coarse salt or lime zest over the top while the chocolate is still warm. Place the coated cake balls back on the parchment paper to set.
  5. Once the chocolate is set, you can place your Lime Margarita Style Cake Balls in a decorative dish, garnish with lime wedges, and prepare for compliments!

Notes

For best results, store your Lime Margarita Style Cake Balls in an airtight container in the fridge. They will maintain their deliciousness for up to a week. These cake balls freeze well for up to two months. Just make sure they are in a sealed container, and to reheat, simply thaw them in the fridge overnight before serving.
