Is it Takoyaki or is it Cake Pop?

I came across this cake pop dessert when I was surfing around the internet, This lady had done quite a lot of nice and beautiful cake pop that you can think of.

Of cos some of her design is too challenging for me and I prefer to do it with a cake pop mould as it is much easier. And then I come across this Chef Ochikeron that make something fun and super easy to do cake pop, that is Takoyaki Cake Pop. Its a great idea to surprise your friends with your new dessert.

You know Takoyaki?

However you need to have the folloing mould to make this cake pop. The brand is Nordic ware.

My recipe below is to do white chocolate cake pop and I did only a small serving of 12 cake pops just nice from one time baking.

Ingredients:

((Cake Pops))

65g  white chocolate chips
55g  butter
50g  sugar
1 eggs
50g  cake flour  
1/2 tsp. baking powder)
1/4 tsp. salt

((Decoration))

Chocolate Syrup
(you can also melt some chocolate in microwave oven for 30seconds and stir it well and put into a pastry bag and cut a small hole to use it to decorate)

Condensed Milk
Green tea powder
Red chocolate rice

Directions:

((Cake Pops))

1. Preheat the oven to 170C (338F). Grease and flour pan.
2. In medium saucepan, over low heat, melt white chocolate chips and butter together. (Stop the heat when the butter starts to melt and mix with residual heat with patience. Otherwise the mixture will be separated.) Stir until smooth. Then pour into medium bowl.
3. Add sugar and mix until blended. Add egg and mix well.
4. Sift in flour and salt. Stir until blended.
5. Spoon the batter into bottom half of pan (without holes) filling each well so it mounds over the top of the pan.
6. Place top half of pan on top and secure with keys. Bake for 15-18 minutes, until toothpick inserted comes out almost clean.
7. Cool 5 minutes in pan, then remove cake pops from pan to cool completely. Trim the edges of cake pops, if needed.

For the decoration part:
Top with Chocolate Syrup to look like Takoyaki sauce and condensed milk to look like mayonnaise. Sprinkle with matcha green tea powder to look like green laver and top with red rice chocolate to look like red pickled ginger.

I did this for my last Christmas...
