INSTRUCTIONS:

• Preheat oven to 350F, spray half sheet pan with cooking spray and set aside.
• Into a large bowl using a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, sift all-purpose flour, cake flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Add buttermilk, water, oil, and eggs, and beat on low speed until combined; beat in vanilla.
• Pour into the prepared sheet pan and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate overnight. Crumble cake for use in cake pops.
• To make Mickey ears: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and melt candy melts according to package directions. Drop 1 tbsp of melted chocolate at a time onto the baking sheet and smooth with the back of a spoon to make a round disk for Mickey’s ear. Repeat to make 20 ears. Let ears harden, 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside.
• For chocolate buttercream: Sift cocoa powder and powdered sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Add shortening and beat on medium speed until coarse crumbs form. Add cold butter, one cube at a time, and beat until smooth.
• To make cake balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large bowl using a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment, add crumbled cake and mix on low speed until small crumbs form, 2 minutes.
• Add room temperature buttercream and mix on low speed until fully incorporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add melted chocolate chips and mix on low speed until soft and most, 2 more minutes.
• Form into 3/4 cup balls, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
• After cake balls are chilled, melt 1/2 cup of chocolate candy melts according to package directions and keep warm.
• Assemble cake pops: Dip 1/2″ of a lollipop stick or boba straw in melted chocolate and insert the chocolate coated end into the center of each cake pop, about 1/2″ deep. Refrigerate until chocolate hardens, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Decorate cake pops: Place sprinkles in a small bowl; set aside. Melt remaining chocolate candy melts according to package instructions.
• Dip cake pops in melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off the bottom.
• Dip in sprinkles and place parchment paper. Place ears on top before chocolate hardens.

Enjoy!
