In a separate bowl, whisk to combine sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.
Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Mix for 1 minute at medium speed until fully combined.

Use remaining oil to grease 2, 8″ cake pans. Divide batter between the pans.
Bake for 30 minutes at 350F until toothpick comes out clean.

Cool for 5 minutes, remove cake from pan and let cool to room temperature, at least 1 hour.

Assembly Method

In a stand mixer bowl, beat together cream cheese and icing sugar. Crumble cake layers by hand and add to cream cheese and sugar mixture. Mix well to break down cake pieces, forming a smooth dough. Shape the mixture into 2 tbsp balls and roll tightly. Make an indent into each cake pop using a wooden spoon or a paper stick. If freezing prior to dipping, let the cake pops warm up prior to dipping to prevent candy coating from cracking. When cake pops are firm and frozen, melt Candy Melts according to package directions, or in the microwave at 50% power in 45 second intervals. Do not overheat or Candy Melts will become too thick. Dip the cake pop stick into the melted Candy Melts up to the indent in the cake pop, rotating it to coat it evenly. This will help adhere the cake pop to the stick. Dip the cake pop into colored sprinkles and add candy eyes onto the cake pop before the Candy Melts harden. Store cake pops in the fridge.
