Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Decadent Snowball Cake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together the devil's food cake mix, water, three eggs, and vegetable oil.
Step 3
Start with an electric mixer on low speed to moisten the ingredients, then elevate the speed to medium and mix for a solid two minutes until the batter is smooth and velvety.
Step 4
Transfer the luscious cake batter into a 2 1/2-quart oven-safe bowl, ensuring you scrape the sides to capture every bit of that rich mixture.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whip together softened cream cheese, white sugar, and the remaining egg until the blend is creamy and well-integrated.
Step 6
Gently spoon this delightful cream cheese mixture into the center of the cake batter, creating a hidden treasure within.
Step 7
Place the bowl in the preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 1 hour and 5 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean, signaling that your cake is ready.
Step 8
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the bowl for 10 minutes.
Step 9
Use a knife to carefully loosen the edges, then invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely, letting the aroma fill your kitchen.
Step 10
While the cake cools, whisk together cold milk, vanilla pudding mix, and confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl for about 2 minutes until smooth.
Step 11
Gently fold in the thawed Cool Whip, creating a fluffy frosting that will crown your cake.
Step 12
Refrigerate this mixture until you're ready to use it.
Step 13
Once the cake has cooled to perfection, place it on a serving plate and lavishly frost the top with the chilled pudding mixture.
Step 14
Finish by generously sprinkling angel flake coconut over the top, adding a delightful texture and flavor.
Step 15
Keep your masterpiece refrigerated until it's time to serve, and watch as your guests delight in every bite of this indulgent treat.
