Instructions
-
Step1Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 8- or 9-inch round pan with shortening; lightly flour. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; set aside.
-
Step2In large bowl, beat granulated sugar and 1/4 butter with electric mixer on medium speed about 2 minutes or until light and fluffy, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat in sour cream. Beat in egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture, about 1/3 at a time, and milk, about 1/2 at a time, beating just until blended. Pour into pan.
-
Step3Bake 33 to 38 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly in center. Cool 15 minutes.
-
Step4Meanwhile, in medium bowl, mix powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons butter with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Beat in 1 tablespoon milk and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Crumble warm cake into medium bowl. Stir powdered sugar mixture into crumbled cake until well blended. Stir in crushed cookies. Cover; refrigerate 1 to 2 hours or until firm enough to shape. Roll cake mixture into 28 (1 1/2-inch) balls; place on waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. Freeze 30 minutes.
-
Step5In 2-cup microwavable measuring cup, microwave 12 oz of the candy melts as directed on package until melted. Coating must be at least 3 inches deep; add more candy melts as necessary to reach and/or maintain 3-inch depth. Remove several cake balls from freezer at a time. To make each cake pop, dip tip of lollipop stick 1/2 inch into melted candy and insert 1 inch into cake ball. Dip into melted candy to cover; very gently tap off excess. (Reheat candy in microwave or add vegetable oil if too thick to coat.) Poke opposite end of stick into foam block. With icing writer, decorate cake pops to resemble desired sports balls. Let stand until set.
