Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your snowball cake. Use real butter, sugar, and eggs, and avoid using margarine or artificial sweeteners.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake until it is golden brown: A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean when the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- Use a fluffy frosting: A light and fluffy frosting will complement the delicate flavor of the cake. Whipped cream frosting, cream cheese frosting, or ermine frosting are all good options.
- Decorate the cake with coconut: Coconut is a classic topping for snowball cake. You can use shredded coconut, flaked coconut, or toasted coconut.
