Method
- In a cupcake tin, place 4 cupcake liners on the outside edge. Preheat the oven to 350-degrees F.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt and cocoa powder.
- In another bowl, beat together the canola oil, sugar, buttermilk, egg white, red dye, vinegar, and vanilla using an electric mixer.
- Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
- Divide the batter between the four cupcake liners and bake at 350° for 20-22 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
- When cool, crumble the cupcakes into crumbs.
- In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Add the crumbs and stir very well.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into your hands and then roll into balls. Place the balls on a plate and refrigerate at least 4 hours.
- To make the coating, chop the almond bark into 1" chunks and place in a bowl. Heat on medium power in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until melted.
- Dip each ball into the coating quickly, using a fork to turn, then let them dry on a piece of wax paper.
Notes
Recipe is easily doubled and baked in a 6" round cake pan to make 20 truffles. Can be made 3 days ahead of time and stored in the fridge.
