Old-Fashioned Christmas Snowball Cake

 



Ingredients

For the Cake:

10- inch angel food cake

4 cups of Cool Whip

20- ounce can of crushed pineapple in syrup

2 packets of gelatin .25 ounces each

4 tablespoons cold water

2 tablespoons of lemon juice

1 cup white sugar

1 cup of boiling water

For the Frosting:

2 cups of Cool Whip

8-10 ounces of flaked sweetened coconut

Maraschino cherries


Instructions

  • I use a 4-quart mixing bowl, but just make sure you use a bowl that is large enough to fit everything in.
  • Line your bowl with parchment paper.
  • Cut the angel food cake into cubes.
  • Drain the pineapple and keep 1 cup of the syrup. If it doesn't have a cup of syrup, add water to make 1 cup.
  • Dissolve both packets in the four tablespoons of cold water.
  • Add the lemon juice, pineapple juice, sugar, and boiling water to the gelatin. Mix well and put in the refrigerator until it starts to thicken up. About 20-30 minutes.
  • Once the mixture has thickened a bit, add in the pineapple and fold in the Cool Whip.
  • Put a layer of cake into the mixing bowl with parchment paper. Then add a layer of the cool whip mixture. Repeat until all is used.
  • Refrigerate overnight or for at least 10 hours.
  • When ready to serve, invert the cake onto a platter and frost it with Cool Whip. Sprinkle with coconut and place maraschino cherries on top
