🍭 How To Make Lemon Cake Pops

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely.
6. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla extract, beating until smooth and fluffy.
7. Crumble the cooled cake into fine crumbs in a large bowl. Add the frosting to the cake crumbs and mix until well combined and the mixture holds together when pressed.
8. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
9. Melt the white candy melts or white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
10. If desired, add a few drops of yellow food coloring to the melted candy to achieve the desired shade.
11. Dip the tip of a lollipop stick into the melted candy, then insert it into a cake ball. Repeat with all the cake balls.
12. Dip each cake pop into the melted candy, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the coated cake pops upright in a styrofoam block or a cake pop stand to set.
