  2. Crumble the cooled cake into a large bowl. Add 1 cup vanilla frosting and 2 tbsp matcha green tea powder, mixing until well combined.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
  4. Insert a lollipop stick into each cake ball. Dip each into melted white chocolate, tapping off excess. Decorate with sprinkles if desired.
  5. Stand the cake pops upright in a styrofoam block to set. Serve once the chocolate has hardened.

The vibrant matcha not only adds a beautiful color but also a subtle bitterness that balances the sweetness perfectly.

Tip: For an extra matcha kick, dust the finished cake pops with a little more matcha powder before the chocolate sets.
