No, these snowballs are not like the pink snowballs you can buy at the gas station but these are kind of similar. These snowballs are cut white cake that are covered with marshmallow frosting and coconut. Even if you don't want to add the frosting and coconut, the cake is very good.
This isn't the best picture but it was the only one I could find that I took of the snowballs.
Recipe:
Cake:
- 1 White Cake Mix
- 1 cup (8 oz.) Sour Cream
- 1/2 cup Vegetable Oil
- 3 Eggs
- 1 tsp. Vanilla
Frosting:
- 1 cup Sugar
- 4 tbsp. Water
- 4 Egg Whites
- 14 oz. Marshmallow Creme
- 12 oz. Grated Coconut
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 13"x9" pan.
Put the cake mix, sour creme, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Blend with electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and beat for an additional 2 minutes. The batter will be thick. Pour into greased pan and place in oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes and then remove from pan. Let continue to cool on a wire rack.
Let egg whites get to room temperature. Place sugar, water and egg whites in a medium saucepan. Cook over low heat, beating on high continuously with a hand mixer until soft peaks form. Remove pan from heat and add marshmallow creme. Beat on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Cut cake into to equal 1-1/2" squares pieces. Place the cut cake on parchment covered cookie sheets, spaced about 3/4" apartment. Pour the marshmallow icing over the cake squares and then cover them with the coconut.
Place the cookie sheets with the snowballs in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes before serving.
Baking Tips:
- Just a heads up, making theses are a little messy because of the sticky marshmallow icing.
- Don't make the marshmallow icing until you are ready to use it. If it harden ups too much, you can warm it up over a double boiler.
