Snowball Cake

Vseward (Chef~V)'s Note:

This snowball cake was on the cover of food & family magazine I received yesterday, it looked so good, I had to make it last night. It was exactly as I hoped. I used my Pampered Chef Batter bowl to bake mine in and it turned out great. Can't wait to make this during the holidays

this was a tasty cake and I loved the frosting...but the filling/center was not what I was looking for to emulate the 'snowball'. It was good, but too dense & rich - it was more like a cheesecake filling than a creamy whipped filling. I will keep the recipe on hand as it was a kid-friendly fun cake. I baked mine in my Pampered Chef mixing bowl.

this cake is AMAZING!!!!! However I used crushed up white chocolate on the ouside of the cake instead on the cocount. I am asked to make this cake every time we have a family function....

This tastes just like the Hostess cup cakes that I had as a kid. The family loves it each time I make it. Thanks for Posting this Great dessert!
