This is such a common recipe among fellow food bloggers these days. I had some leftover Red Velvet Cake that my friend Jen brought us a few days ago and made these Red Velvet Cake Balls to use it up and share.
The recipe for this is rather easy and can be easily found on a slew of other blogs in greater detail, but I thought it would be interesting to provide a link to a New York Times article that outlines the popularity, legends and the history of Red Velvet Cake.
original recipe unkown
Prepared red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting
Chocolate bark, melted

– In a large bowl, mash the prepared and frosted cake to fully combine.
– Using a small scoop, form small balls of mashed cake.
– Roll each ball with your hands to form a more uniform ball.

– Carefully place ball of cake into the melted chocolate and coat completely.
– Remove coated cake ball and place on parchment lined baking sheet to harden.
You continue to amaze me. I can’t wait to try these.
A cool way to deal with leftover cake. Too bad we never have any!
Mmm I love red velvet cake and thanks for posting that link. I just can’t wrap my head around beets in some of those recipes though! 😉
If we ever have cake leftover, I will definitely make these.
you finally made them. Once you make them, you can’t go back. Yours look beautiful. I made one of your sugar cookie recipes that Kelly loved. It’s a keeper here.
The red velvet kind are my favorite.
Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Ie.
I'm not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do with internet browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon.
Kudos
