    Southern Velvet Cake Bites

    http://media.bonnint.net/slc/181/18133/1813390.jpg

    * 1 box red velvet cake mix
    * 3 eggs
    * 1 cup half and half
    * 1 tsp. vanilla extract
    * ½ cup sour cream
    * 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
    * ½ cup Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting

    Method:

    Mix together cake mix, eggs, half and half, vanilla extract, and sour cream.

    Batter will be thicker. Pour batter into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 28-32 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and cool completely. Crumble cake into small, even pieces, placing crumbs in a large bowl.

    Add the following ingredients:

    8 oz. cream cheese, softened ½ cup Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting

    With the back of a spoon, mix together cake crumbles with ingredients until a thick "dough" consistency forms, making it easy to shape into a cake bite.

    Shape cake bites, evenly sized and cool for 1-2 hours in the refrigerator, or 20 minutes in the freezer. Dip into white melting chocolate.

    Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting
    Ingredients:

    * Makes approx. 3 cups of frosting
    * 8 tbsp. (1 stick) butter, room temperature
    * 3 ¾ cups powdered sugar, sifted
    * 3-4 tbsp. milk or cream
    * 2 tsp. vanilla extract

    Method:

    Place the butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy, about 30 seconds. Stop the mixer before adding the sugar or you will have a large mess to clean up. Add the sugar, 3 tablespoons milk (cream) and vanilla extract. Beat frosting starting on slow increasing your speed until frosting is nice and creamy. Add up to 1 or more tablespoons of milk (cream) if frosting to too thick.

    Wendy's book, 101 Gourmet Cake Bites, is available at local bookstores.
