Instructions

Regular cake box instructions

Following the boxed cake instructions bake the cake. You need the cake baked, cooled and crumbled to start assembling the truffle.
Cream together the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla & lemon extract. If the frosting is too stiff, add up to 1 tbsp of milk. Add in lemon zest, if desired.
Add the crumbled cake and mix throughly.
Scoop the cake ball mixture into uniform balls. Freeze for 45 minutes.
Once chilled in the freezer, remove and roll each ball in the palm of your hands to create a nice, smooth ball.
If desired, melt the white chocolate and dip each truffle in to coat. Transfer to wax paper. Top with white and gold sprinkles. Let cool to set.
Store in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat.
