½ cup (120 ml) vegetable oil

Instructions

Prepare the cake batter according to the instructions on the box. For Betty Crocker, mix all the ingredients in one bowl. Transfer the batter to a 9×13-inch baking pan and bake at the recommended temperature and time. Once baked, allow the cake to cool completely.
Once the cake is cooled, break it up into large crumbles in the cake pan. Add cream cheese and use your hands to mix everything until a dough-like consistency is reached. You can also use an electric mixer if preferred.
Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the mixture and roll it into small balls. Place the balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze the dough balls for about 30 minutes or until they firm up.
In a heatproof bowl, microwave the white chocolate melting wafers at 50% power, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
Use dipping tools or two forks to dip each chilled cake ball into the melted chocolate. Gently tap to remove any excess chocolate, then place back on the parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle with red or pink sprinkles if desired. Allow the chocolate coating to harden before serving or storing.

Notes

You can use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for a different flavor.
For a festive touch, form the dough into heart shapes for holidays like Valentine’s Day.
For a fun variation, turn these cake balls into cake pops by sticking a popsicle stick into each dough ball before freezing and dipping.
