Lemon Cake Truffles made easy with lemon pound cake crumbled and formed into small truffles, then dipped in white chocolate! Easy Lemon Truffles perfect for parties!

I’ve served these tasty treats at a variety of parties from New Year’s Eve get-togethers to birthday celebrations. They’re simple to make, can be made ahead of time and everyone loves bite-sized cake!

Originally I made these using a Krusteaz Lemon Pound Cake Mix. I’ve included those instructions, as well as instructions for making them with just a regular lemon cake mix.

Ingredients for Lemon Truffles with Cake Mix

Here’s what you’ll need to make these lemon truffles:

• 1 9×13 lemon cake baked per box instructions, cooled & crumbled
• 1 tbsp butter softened
• 2 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2-1 tbsp milk if needed
• 1 tsp lemon extract
• 1 TBSP lemon zest, if desired
• 2 cups white chocolate chips or melting discs
• 1/2 TBSP coconut oil, for thinning chocolate

How to make Lemon Cake Truffles

Cream together the butter, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla & lemon extract. If the frosting is too stiff, add up to 1 tbsp of milk. Add in lemon zest, if desired.

Add the crumbled cake and mix throughly.

Scoop the cake ball mixture into uniform balls. Freeze for 45 minutes.

Once chilled in the freezer, remove and roll each ball in the palm of your hands to create a nice, smooth ball.

Melt the white chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds. Let sit 2-3 minutes. Gently stir. Add coconut oil and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Stir once more and let sit until chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Dip each truffle in to coat. Transfer to wax paper. Top with white and gold sprinkles. Let cool to set.

Store in the fridge or freezer until ready to eat.

Instructions using Krusteaz Pound Cake Mix

Lemon Cake Truffles are a dessert I made not long ago and guess what- they were from a mix! Krusteaz has this amazing Lemon Pound Cake mix and I thought it would be fun to transform the cake into truffles instead. They not only tasted great but they were so pretty- they’d be perfect for your New Year’s table. So pick up a box next time you’re at the grocery store and get baking!
