Snickerdoodle Poppers

September 25, 2022 By Gretchen 2 Comments

Simple is always best

And it doesn’t get any simpler than two recipes and about an hour!

These Snickerdoodle Poppers saved the day!

Snickerdoodle Cake Bombs

For a fast and easy dessert in no time

Grab your best recipe for vanilla cake and your favorite recipe for vanilla buttercream

Baked into a mini muffin tin

Snickerdoodle Cake Bombs

Filled with just the right amount of vanilla cream and rolled in cinnamon sugar!

So easy to make and even easier to pop in your mouth!

Hence the name ~ Snickerdoodle Poppers!

Snickerdoodle Cake Bombs

Perfect bites of of snickerdoodle love!

Snickerdoodle Cake Bombs

What great treat to leave as a surprise in someone’s lunch box

Or give a gift basket of Snickerdoodle Poppers!

Notes for Success:

Typically a standard recipe for vanilla cake will make 2-8″ cake layers

For 24 Snickerdoodle Poppers you will have to halve the recipe

Be careful with your math as most recipe fails happen with math and measuring errors!

The buttercream recipe is going to be more than enough even with half recipe for that too

I usually just always make a full recipe no matter what, because it’s nice to always have excess buttercream in the refrigerator for a small project like this one!

Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • ½ Recipe Yellow Cake
  • ½ Recipe Buttercream
  • Sugar 1 cup
  • Cinnamon 1 Tablespoon
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
  2. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with pan grease
  3. Prepare the yellow cake recipe as per the instructions on that page
  4. Fill the greased muffin cavities ¾ to the top with batter
  5. Bake immediately in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or when they are springy to the touch when you gently press the centers
  6. Cool them while you prepare the buttercream recipe as per the instructions on that recipe
  7. In a small bowl toss the sugar with the ground cinnamon
  8. Fill each cooled mini cake with buttercream, be careful not to overfill or the cakes will burst open
  9. Roll each filled mini cake bomb in cinnamon sugar
  10. For filling, there is no need to hollow out the cupcake, just poke right into it with a pastry tip *as shown in the picture above)
Notes
Snickerdoodle cake bombs can be stored at room temperature for up to 2 days in an airtight container

For longer storage refrigerate for up to 1 week

Freezing is possible for up to 1 month, but they won't look as nice as the fresh made cake bombs

    How do you fill them? Do you have to scoop out the middle of the cupcake to make a hollow spot?

      No, I just poke a hole in them with a skewer or a flower nail or whatever works that you have handy! And then with the pastry bag pipe in just enough before they explode! 😀
