A delightful and festive Snowball Cake, perfect for any celebration, featuring layers of white cake, coconut cream filling, and a fluffy frosting.
Ingredients
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2–3 tbsp heavy cream or milk
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup white chocolate chips, optional
- Powdered sugar, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- Make the cake batter. Combine the cake mix, eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla. Beat until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Make the filling. Beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream and shredded coconut into the cream cheese mixture.
- Make the frosting. Beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar, then mix in the vanilla and enough cream to create a smooth, spreadable frosting.
- Assemble the cake. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the coconut cream filling evenly over the top. Place the second cake layer on top.
- Frost the top and sides of the cake completely.
- Cover with coconut. Gently press the shredded coconut onto the frosting until the entire cake is covered.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.
Notes
- For an extra snowy appearance, lightly dust the finished cake with powdered sugar just before serving.
