Variations
Gluten-Free:✨
Substitute the all-purpose flour with a high-quality gluten-free flour blend. Ensure it contains xanthan gum to maintain the spongy texture. Follow the same recipe steps for delicious, gluten-free cakesicles.
Vegan:🌱
Replace eggs with a flaxseed meal (1 tbsp flaxseed meal + 3 tbsp water equals one egg). Swap the milk with plant-based milk like almond or soy, and use vegan cream cheese and white chocolate for the frosting and glaze. These adjustments will keep the cakesicles vegan-friendly without compromising on taste.
Faq
- Can I make the sponge cake without an electric mixer?
Yes, you can mix the batter manually with a whisk, but it will require more effort to achieve the same fluffy texture.
- What can I do if I don't have popsicle molds?
You can use small cups or even muffin tins as an alternative; just remember to insert the sticks before freezing.
- How can I tell if my sponge cake is baked through?
Use a toothpick to poke the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Is there a way to prevent the white chocolate from cracking?
Ensure the cakesicles are not too cold when dipping into the glaze; this helps prevent temperature shock which can cause cracks.
- Can I use dark chocolate for the glaze?
Absolutely! Dark chocolate can be a wonderful, slightly less sweet alternative to white chocolate.
- How long can I store the cakesicles?
Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, they will stay fresh for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them and they will last up to a month.
