Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk together the sour cream, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
-
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
-
Stir in the shredded coconut gently until evenly distributed in the batter.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once the cakes have cooled, prepare the filling by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
-
Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread the raspberry jam evenly over the top.
-
Spread a generous layer of the whipped cream over the jam, ensuring it reaches the edges of the cake.
-
Place the second cake layer on top and gently press down to secure the layers together.
-
Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream, creating a snowy effect with swirls and peaks.
-
Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a festive finish.
-
Garnish with fresh raspberries and mint leaves for a pop of color.
-
Refrigerate the Snowball Cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
