Instructions
Cake
Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease a 9x13 pan.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine all cake ingredients and mix on low about 30 seconds. Increase the speed and mix 2 minutes.
Pour into prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or center tests clean.
Allow cake to cool on wire rack.
In a large bowl, crumble cake (I used a wooden spoon, and this cake was rather dense, so it took a little effort).
Frosting
Add 3/4 can of frosting to cake crumbs (don't use the entire can, or it will be too wet).
Using a wooden spoon or hand mixer, mix the frosting and crumbs until moist and well combined.
Form into balls (I made 36).
In a microwave safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and shortening, microwave in 30 second interval, stirring as needed, until melted and smooth.
Dip cake balls into chocolate, and using a slotted spoon, fork, or one of those Easter egg dye dippers (some people prefer to use a toothpick, but this never works for me) coat the cake ball entirely in chocolate and allow to set on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. (Dipped cake balls can be placed in the freezer of refrigerator to speed up the chocolate setting).
