    Classic, easy Snowball cake recipe, which is a cheesecake stuffed chocolate cake. A doctored cake mix recipe, loaded with pudding frosting & coconut!

    *This post is sponsored by Lunchbox so that I can make this snowball cake. As always, all photography and opinions are mine.*

    The first time I had a snowball cake was about three years ago at a FANCY restaurant. I was so intrigued by the name that I ordered it right away. It's still one of the the BEST desserts I have ever eaten.

    Basically, this snowball cake has everything I am crazy about, packed into a neat little dome shape:

    • Cheesecake
    • Devil's food cake
    • Pudding
    • Frosting
    • Coconut

    This dessert is worth every single calorie.

    Easy Snowball Cake Recipe

    I wanted to LEARN how to make this cake at home and I found a recipe HERE that was very EASY to follow and and it starts off with a cake mix.

    It tasted exactly like the Snowball Cake I had at that fancy restaurant...Yay!

    How to Make Snowball Cake

    I had ASSUMED that the cake is baked first and the center is hollowed out and filled with cheesecake.

    But I was wrong... the cake and cheesecake are actually both baked TOGETHER.

    Isn't that the COOLEST thing ever?!

        I haven't tried it but I think it can work. Just be sure to grease the pan really well to keep the cake from sticking and breaking.
