Raspberry Swirl Cake (Printable Version)

Fluffy coconut cake with ribbons of raspberry, covered in whipped cream and coconut flakes for a snowy vibe.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base Layer

01 - 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
02 - 1 cup coconut milk
03 - 2 large eggs
04 - 1 cup granulated sugar
05 - ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
06 - ½ teaspoon salt
07 - 2 teaspoons baking soda
08 - 2 cups all-purpose flour

→ Raspberry Blend

09 - 1 cup raspberry preserves, lightly heated

→ Topping

10 - 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut for garnish
11 - 2 cups stabilized whipped cream

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Heat oven to 350°F (175°C). Coat a 9-inch round cake pan with grease and a light dusting of flour.
02 - In a bowl, stir together salt, flour, and baking soda.
03 - Cream together sugar and butter until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add one egg at a time, then pour in coconut milk slowly while mixing.
04 - Carefully mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir in shredded coconut to finish.
05 - Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Lightly swirl the heated raspberry preserves through the batter. Bake for 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness.
06 - Allow to cool completely, then spread whipped cream over the top and sprinkle shredded coconut as the final touch.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Room temperature ingredients give a fluffier texture. Mix gently to avoid a dense cake.
