~Deep Fried Cake Batter!

It came to my attention pretty early on in life that I enjoy cake batter more than I enjoy cake. That being said, I know that sitting down to a bowl of cake batter and ~~optional~~

spoon isn’t exactly socially acceptable, so I needed to devise a way of enjoying succulent scoops of cake batter without raising too many eyebrows ..lol! And I think I DID IT! 🙂

These little batter balls are filled with all of that cake-battery goodness with none of the strange looks, well…there will still be some strange looks, but at this point..I’m used to it! 🙂

~Anyhoo, I’m in heaven with these beautiful bites of batter and I think you will be too.

The lightest, most delicate shell is so crispy on the outside and lovingly hugs the moist and tender ‘cakiest’, batter-filled center ever! There is nothing like these, and you will never be able to eat just one! As if they could get any better, dip one (or 10) into some ‘sprinkley’ frosting and OMG~ Cake-Batter HEAVEN!

What you’ll need:

one box of your fave cake mix, I used Funfettit cuz, well..it’s fun & fetti!

1 cup of all-purpose flour

oil for frying..I used Canola

Frosting of your choice for dipping

Sprinkles for sprinkling

Directions:

Mix up the cake batter according to the box instructions, and add in one extra cup of flour until it’s thick and smooth…

Scoop approx. one tablespoon of the batter and drop it gently into the hot (350 degree) oil…

Fry them up until they’re golden on all sides…

Let them cool on some paper towel…

Top them with some fun sprinkles…

Check them out on the inside..that’s where all the love is..lol!

Plunge those warm batter babies deep into some frosting..because you can! …and dig in! ~Enjoy! 🙂

How about just piping the icing into the middle of them? *drool*

my mother used to make this from scratch, unfortunately I do not remember her recipe, so I’m glad I can do this effortlessly. thanks!

I just tried this with devil’s food mix and they’re not round at all. What did I do wrong? :/
I used my little scoop and they expanded as soon as they hit the oil. They look like Frankenstein hush puppies.

  lol @ Jane. Did you try again? I want to try this, but I am concerned about the Frankenstein hush puppies.

  Was your hot oil bubbling, breaking up the batter balls?

Delicious!!! Easy recipe to follow. We even added apples & cinnamon to the 2nd half of the batter and it was pefect! Thanks for sharing 🙂

Amazing….FYI, cook in 350°oil for 4-5 min. I used a melon baller to drop cake batter into deep fryer. This will be a new favorite!

After frying, how about sprinkling confectioners sugar on them all after they’re cooled a bit? Would almost be like Pennsylvania funnel cake in miniature balls!

Added a handful of chocolate chips and drizzled with dark chocolate after cooking ☺ simply perfect!

Just a tweak…. second time I made this I used some buttermilk pancake mix instead of flour…. it works absolutely wonderfully. Makes it more cakey and a bit lighter.
- ohbiteit on July 9, 2018 at 1:53 pm
  Perfect! 🙂

  Jodi what a great tip!

Also, I used butter instead of the oil when making the mix, and used duck eggs for the added fat and protein. Very dense and delicious doughnut holes.
