Snowball Cake

I've made this cake several times and still have trouble with the cream cheese filling. I learned that you DON'T microwave the cream cheese to soften and also tried sitting it out for awhile and still goes to the bottom. HELP! Wonder if putting back in fridge to chill before adding to cake mix would fix this problem? I did the devil's food for Christmas [from the magazine] and Easter, I used yellow cake - tinted cream cheese blueish - tinted frosting peachish - tinted coconut light green - put egg- shaped sprinkles and stood Hershey's chocolate bunnies on top. This is a cute cake and NEEDS to be put in fridge and made the day before serving.

I loved this cake, but the only problem I had was getting the pudding to thicken. I had to throw it away. I had a tub of icing and used it. I also had this problem when I made the fruit tart with the pudding.

I've made this several times for different events and occasions. Everyone begs me for the recipe. It is very easy to follow and delicious!

Loved this cake. The frosting was wonderful, the cake delicious. Is my favorite cake now.

This cake is so easy to make and so delicious! Try it!

I read reviews prior to making, and made the following modifications: mixed cake in my mixer then poured into pyrex bowl coated with Wilton's cake release. Added 1/3 cup sugar and 1 t almond extract to cream cheese mixture. I mixed the cream cheese mixture in my mixer until it was fluffy which made for a nice custard consistency when baked. I also baked about 10 mins. longer than recipe called for. Beautiful presentation. Moist cake. Great tasting filling and icing. I would definitely make again and again!!

I made this for Christmas, everyone raved after seeing it. They enjoyed the taste and the cream cheese inside. I changed the cake to a red velvet looked sooo pretty. I did add the extra teaspoons of sugar for the cream cheese filling. I also let it bake an extra 10 minutes and it turned out perfectly. My family was quite impressed.

This is a keeper. I made this for the first time as dessert on Christmas Eve at my stepdaughter's house and everyone loved it (including me and I'm fussy about my cakes). It made a beautiful presentation and tasted delicious. I must say that the filling in my cake did not appear to be as much as the picture, but is was still scrumptious.

I baked this cake according to the receipe except I baked it for 1 hr. 15 min. The cake was very moist but the cream cheese filling was kind of dry. I also had to cut the bottom to make it flat. I think I'll try a 3 Qt. bowl next time along with more sugar for the cream cheese filling.

I made this cake for a friends birthday in June, and I dyed the coconut purple because that's both of ours favorite color. Now, I'm making it for Christmas, and I'm going to dye it up here too. So Fun! I'm going to dye the cream cheese part green, then dye the frosting red, leaving the coconut alone like new fallen snow. Love this recipe!
