I know that using less frosting in the crmbled cake mixture will help with the mushy texture but I want a cake texture. I also find that cake balls with frosting are really sweet. I am trying to achieve a cake texture without it being overly sweet. Can I just use a really moist cake without the frosting or will this crumble? Any suggestions would really help.
Thanks

I've always understood cake balls to be a blend of crumbled cake with a binder. Most people use frosting or jam for that binder. So cake balls will have a mushy texture and are very sweet.

If you want cake balls with a cake texture you may need to create a new product. Perhaps find a specialty pan that can bake little semi-spheres. "Glue" them together after baking and dip in chocolate. You'll need a firm cake recipe, maybe pound cake will work. Can't think of anything simpler, sorry.

I neVee use a binder, I just bake a vey moist cake and squish it rely well with my hands. It helps if it's partially frozen before ypu smoosh it up with your hands. It tastes like pure cake, not too sweet!

It's not a cake like texture, it only tastes like cake. This is due to the fact the cake is so compressed in order to get iton the stick. There is something called a baby cakes maker tha tight work for the texture you want. Enjoy!

I don't use a binder either. I just smoosh my moist cake together. The texture is like a dense brownie.
