These are so much fun and my daughter loves them!!! I was a little nervous at first because the cake batter was really wet and runny but I trusted the process and it all worked out!! I subbed the raspberry powder for strawberry powder because we were already making some for strawberry milk 🤪 I’m not super great when it comes to coating things in chocolate so if anyone has any tips, I’m all ears!

And as for a chocolate coating tip: use double broiler and heat chocolate slowly so that it doesn’t get clumpy and overheat. Then, you can drizzle the chocolate over the cakes on a rack and let the chocolate drip down. I usually collect the chocolate and reheat it if I need more - but it is messy!! I’m here for anyone else’s tips!

I think this would help a lot!! The chocolate to cake ratio was a little off on mine because I dipped and coated the whole thing 🤪 still delicious but very sweet 😅

Ahhh those look amazing!!!! Yes!! Strawberry powder is a great sub! They must be so yummy!! And I get it with the trust the process part 😂😂 gluten free recipes often seem questionable - but I work hard to iron out kinks so thanks for trusting me!!! 🫶🏼
