HI all, I made my first batch of cake bites this weekend. I am wondering just how moist they are supposed to be? Mine are so very moist. I figured they would dry after the 2 hour dry time. They did dry some on the outside so I rolled them in powdered sugar and it just soaked into them. This morning the ones that are left had a more crusted outside because of the sugar, but the bottom was wet. Did I get to much liquid in them? I used a shot glass for the measurment, its a measured glass, but I'm wondering if its more than a regular shot glass. They were good and are all gone now, but the inside was almost liquid. Any ideas? Thoughts?
I am hoping someone can give me some help. I used thr recipe on here for cake balls (now called cake bites)

what are cake bites/cake balls? sorry i cant answer your question.

I dipped mine in melted chocolate - so they were very rich. The ones I made were also moist inside, but being dipped in chocolate just made them seem truffle-y. I doubt I will try the powedered sugar route - the chocolate dipping takes more time, but is more forgiving! I was concerned about them being moist for too long - but there wasno worry about that, as they did a quick disappearing act.

daltonam thats why the name got changed!! If you look in recipes you will find them, I think of them as a way to use up cake scraps, or cakes that fall apart or don't come out of the pan properly, things like that.

thanks

When I make them, I add liquid or frosting until it *just* holds together when rolled into a ball. Almost like a pie crust but a little more wet than that.

I don't measure because it varies each time I make it by how moist the cake is. When I made them last week, I used a cake that had about 6 cups of batter in it and I used about 1/4 cup of BC frosting to do the entire cake batch.

I also don't add that much moisture, about 2 Tablespoons of binder to 2 cups of crumbs, just enough to hold together. This makes a dryer yet yummy ball, more cakelike and less truffle like.

Thanks you guys, next time I will only use what i need to make them hold together. I knew I could count on you all.
