How to Make White Chocolate Popcorn Cake

This is such a simple recipe, y’all. It comes together in minutes. 

Spread a bundt pan with butter and set aside. 

Pop a bag of corn. Carefully remove ALL kernels and place corn in a large bowl. 

In a separate bowl place the white chocolate chips and oil. 

Place in microwave and heat in 30-second increments, stirring until melted. (Mine took a total of a minute and a half.) 

Stir out all lumps. 

Pour over the popcorn and mix well. 

Stir in the add-ins. I prefer the sweet and salty additions but you can use anything you like, including mini marshmallows or even freeze-dried mini marshmallows. 

Press the mixture into the prepared bundt pan. 

Place in the freezer for twenty minutes. 

When you pull it out, use a sharp knife to nudge the chocolate loose from the sides. 

Flip upside-down onto a plate. 

Use a sharp knife to make “cake” slices. 

Serve and enjoy! 

Store in an airtight container in the fridge or cool place. It should stay good for 4-5 days. You can freeze this to eat later if you like. 

That’s it for this post, friends!
