Lo-Pro Chocolate Cake (Pops!)

Thanks to several parents on the Listserv, I got the following recipe, and it was a huge hit.  I made it into cake pops (so easy, make the cake. Let it cool. Mash it up. Add frosting until it becomes doughy - about 2 cups, refrigerate. Roll into balls, add sucker sticks. Refrigerate. Dip in almond bark and desired sprinkles. Serve!) and served for a birthday party.  So fun!
 
2-1/2 c. wheat starch
2/3 c. cake flour
1 tbsp + 1 tsp baking powder
4 oz box instant chocolate pudding
3 tbsp. cocoa powder1 tbsp. + 1 tsp egg replacer
1-1/3 c. sugar
2 c. water
1/2 c. melted butter
1/4 c. oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
100 g. mini chocolate chips
Whip egg replacer, water and sugar with a whisk until foamy. Add butter and remaining wet ingredients. Beat well and add to dry ingredients.  Stir in chocolate chips.. Pour into 24 muffin cups. Bake at 325 for 25 minutes. 
 
Approximate phe is 35 per cupcake.   For the cake pops, dipped in almond bark, I estimated about 25 mg phe/cake pop.
