New Snowball Cake Recipes

Steps:

• For the cake and filling: Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. Prepare and bake the devil's food cake according to the package directions. Let cool completely.
• Combine the butter and marshmallow creme in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and well combined. Add the confectioners' sugar and heavy cream and beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Transfer the marshmallow mixture to a piping bag fitted with a long thin round tip.
• Flip the cake so it is flat-side up. Make 12 evenly-spaced holes in the bottom of the cake using a skewer, pressing only halfway down into the cake and wiggling the skewer slightly to widen the holes until they are each about 1 inch wide. Insert the piping tip in each of the holes and pipe in some marshmallow mixture until it starts to ooze out the top of the hole. Flip the cake flat-side down onto a cake stand or serving platter.
• For the topping: Combine the coconut and confectioners' sugar in a large resealable plastic bag, seal and shake well. Dissolve 5 to 6 drops of food coloring in 2 tablespoons water in a small bowl. Drizzle the food coloring over the coconut and toss well, massaging the bag with your hands to evenly distribute the color.
• Combine the gelatin with 6 tablespoons water in a small bowl and set aside. Combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, salt and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat until it reaches 235 to 240 degrees F (soft-ball stage) on a candy thermometer, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Pour the corn syrup mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, along with the vanilla and bloomed gelatin. Whip on high speed until thick and fluffy, about 6 minutes.
• Spread the marshmallow mixture all over the cake with a small offset spatula. Pat the coconut all over the cake. Let sit 30 minutes for the topping to set before serving.

Steps:

• Line a 4 quart round mixing bowl with parchment paper.
• Break cake up into small bite-sized pieces.
• Drain the crushed pineapple, reserve the syrup. You should have 1 cup of syrup if not add enough water to make 1 cup.
• Dissolve the gelatin in the 4 tablespoons of cold water. Add the boiling water, pineapple syrup, sugar and lemon juice. Mix well and place in the refrigerator until mixture just starts to thicken.
• Add the crushed pineapple to the gelatin mix and then fold in 4 cups of the whipped topping.
• Place a layer of cake pieces, then a layer of the pineapple mixture in the prepared bowl. Continue until all the cake and pineapple mixture is used up. Refrigerate for at least 12 hours or overnight.
• Turn the chilled cake out onto a serving platter and frost it with the remaining whipped topping and sprinkle with the coconut.

• 3. Pour into greased pan. Bake 50 Minutes (mine only took 40 minutes) so check with toothpick at 40 min) Cool in pan on rack for 25 minutes. Remove from pan and cool 2 hours.
• 4. Using a long serrated knife, slice cake horizontally into two layers. making the top layer 1/3 the height of cake, the bottom layer 2/3 the height. Remove top and set aside. Hollow out center of bottom layer leaving 3/4 inch border of cake on bottom and sides. Spoon Filling into tunnel. Replace the top layer.
• 5. Filling: In large bowl beat cream cheese until light and fluffy. Beat in sour cream, confectioners sugar and vanilla until smooth. Spoon filling into cake tunnel.
• 6. White Frosting (my own) Into 5 scant Tablespoons of flour, gradually blend 1 cup of milk. Cook to a thick paste. ( I put in microwave for 1 min. at a time, stir and continue til thickened to a thick paste) if using stove top stir constantly til thick. Cool to lukewarm, meanwhile cream 1 cup crisco with 1 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp. salt add to cooled paste and add 1 tsp. vanilla extract and beat til fluffy.
