Preparation
- Preheat your oven according to the cake mix instructions. In a large bowl, blend the white cake mix with eggs, vegetable oil, water, and matcha powder. Mix until smooth and vibrant green.
- Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and bake according to the package's directions or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
- Once the cake is cooled, crumble it into fine crumbs using your hands or a food processor.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat together the powdered sugar, vegetable shortening, vanilla extract, and coconut milk until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the frosting to the crumbled cake, mixing until the mixture holds its shape well when shaped into balls.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt your chocolate in a microwave or double boiler, then stir in coconut oil for a smoother consistency. Dip the ends of the cake pop sticks into the melted chocolate before inserting them into the chilled cake balls. Fully coat each ball in chocolate.
- While the chocolate is still wet, add your favorite sprinkles or crushed nuts for decoration. Allow the cake pops to stand upright until the chocolate hardens.

Notes
Use culinary-grade matcha powder for better flavor. Ensure cake crumbs are finely processed for a smooth texture. Chill the cake balls for stability during coating.
