Ingredients

Scale
  1. For the Cake:

    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

    • 1 ½ tsp baking powder

    • ¼ tsp salt

    • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

    • 1 cup sugar

    • 2 eggs

    • ½ cup milk

    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    • ½ cup shredded coconut

    • ¼ cup raspberry jam

    For the Topping:

    1. 1 cup shredded coconut

    2. ¼ cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.

  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  • In a separate bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.

  • Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with milk, until the batter is smooth.

  • Fold in the shredded coconut gently.

  • Swirl the raspberry jam into the batter, folding lightly to create a marbled effect.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

  • Let the cake cool completely before decorating.

 

  • Once cooled, press shredded coconut around the edges and on top of the cake. Dust with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.

Notes

  • For a more intense raspberry flavor, feel free to add a little more raspberry jam or fresh raspberries to the cake batter.

 

  • If you prefer a firmer texture, allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it.
