Snowball Cake



Warm days in the summer, sometimes make me miss the snow. The cool wind chills on my face, the sound of the ice crunching beneath my boots are just some of the things I miss the most. Since I can’t fast forward the months, the only thing I can do is make a tasty dessert that reminds me of the winter snow, such as this Snowball Cake.

This is a really fun recipe to bring the children into the kitchen too. They can help mix the cake batter and sprinkle the coconut flakes (make sure that their hands are clean first!). Plus, this cake is adorable! Make cleanup easy by mixing and baking the cake batter in the same bowl!
