Instructions

How to Make Pink Coconut Snowball Cake Bars

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Mix the cake mix, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Add pink gel food coloring to achieve your desired shade.
  • Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 27–30 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
  • Beat unsalted butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fluffy. Adjust consistency with milk as needed.
  • Frost the completely cooled cake with cream cheese frosting.
  • Sprinkle sweetened shredded coconut generously over the frosting and press gently to adhere.
  • Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before slicing into bars.

Notes

For best flavor, let the bars sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes after chilling.
