- STEP 6Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- STEP 7Remove from the oven once cooked and leave to cool completely.
- STEP 8Put the cake in a food processor and whizz until it is like breadcrumbs.
- STEP 9Make the cream cheese frosting:
- STEP 10Cream together cream cheese, butter and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Gradually add in powdered sugar and continue mixing. Add in milk as needed to get to the desired consistency.
- STEP 11Mix the cream cheese frosting into the cake crumbs until it sticks together and can be rolled into balls.
- STEP 12Roll the mixture into balls and put into the fridge for a bit.
