Whip up these boozy cake pops for a party favorite!
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon grated orange peel
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur
  • 1 tablespoon grenadine syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tablespoons tequila
  • 1 bag (12 oz) yellow candy melts
  • 28 paper lollipop sticks (6 inch)
  • 2 Styrofoam block (each about 12x3x2 inches)
  • 1 bag (12 oz) orange candy melts
  • Red colored sugar
Instructions:
  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease the bottom of an 8x4-inch loaf pan with cooking spray. 2. In a large bowl, mix together all cake ingredients. Use an electric mixer on low speed until combined, then switch to medium speed and beat for 2 minutes. 3. Pour the batter into the pan and get ready to enjoy a delicious cake!
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack. Allow it to cool completely for about 50 minutes. Trim off the browned edges from the sides and bottom of the cake.
  • Use a food processor with a metal blade to crumble half of the cake. Pulse on and off until the cake turns into fine crumbs. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat the process with the remaining cake.
  • Combine all filling ingredients in a small bowl and beat on low speed until mixed. Increase to medium speed and beat until creamy. Mix with cake crumbs until moistened and mixture holds together. Roll into 18 (1 1/2-inch) balls on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.
  • Microwave yellow candy melts in a 2-cup microwavable measuring cup as directed on the package until smooth. Take a few cake balls out of the freezer. Dip the top half-inch of each lollipop stick into the melted candy coating and push it 1 inch into a cake ball. Cover each cake ball by dipping it into the melted candy, tapping gently to remove excess. If the coating is too thick, reheat it in the microwave or add vegetable oil. Place the sticks into a styrofoam block and allow them to set.
  • Microwave orange candy melts in a 2-cup microwavable measuring cup according to package instructions until melted. Dip bottom half of each yellow-coated cake pop into melted orange candy, then dip tops into red colored sugar. Place on styrofoam block and allow to set.
