Ingredients
  

For the Cake Base
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Good ol’ kitchen staple!
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder That little boost for lift.
  • ½ teaspoon salt Brings all those flavors alive.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened Make it creamy for that dreamy texture.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar You know I’m all about that sweetness.
  • 2 large eggs Just room temp, please! They’ll blend so much easier.

  • 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut ‘Cause we love coconut here!
For Swirling and Topping

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a round 9-inch cake pan by greasing and flouring it.
Mix the Dry Ingredients
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
Cream the Butter and Sugar
  1. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then slowly mix in the coconut milk.
Combine Dry and Wet
  1. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Stir in the shredded coconut.
Layer the Magic
  1. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan, followed by half of the warmed raspberry preserves. Pour the remaining batter over that and swirl gently with a knife or toothpick.
Bake Away
  1. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a wooden skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the pan.
Frost and Finish
  1. Once cooled, whip the cream until stiff peaks form or use store-bought. Frost the cooled cake and sprinkle with shredded coconut.
