Everything about a Hostess Sno Ball — chocolate cake filled with marshmallow creme and covered in shredded coconut — is wonderful. But when you grow up, you learn that a store-bought dessert, especially one wrapped in plastic, is never quite as good as a freshly baked one. So I made my own. 

[post_ads]Obviously it's super-sized. After a successful Giant Oreo, I couldn't help myself. A bigger cake means more cake, more marshmallow cheesecake filling (more on that later, more frosting, and all around more amazingness. Don't worry, the perfectly rounded cake looks harder than it is. There's no carving to create that dome top. It comes out of the bowl that way. Yep! It gets baked in an actual bowl (ovenproof, of course). Just grease up your go-to 2-quart Pyrex with cooking spray and pour the cake batter — in this case Devil's food — right in.

Before the bowl goes into the oven, you need to make the marshmallow cheesecake filling. I know there's no cream cheese involved in the original little cakes, but no one will care. The cheesecake filling is way easier to just dump in the middle of the batter than cutting the baked cake and filling it with fluff after the fact. Plus, it's MARSHMALLOW CHEESECAKE. Covered in fluff frosting and coconut (both pink), the finished snowball is straight-up nostalgia.
