Snowball Cake {Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Cake}
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.
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!
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?!
