Ingredients:
For the fluffy sponge:
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 50 g sweetened shredded coconut
- 30 ml thick coconut milk
- 175 g unsalted butter, softened
- 175 g golden caster sugar
- 175 g self-raising flour
- 7 g baking powder
For the filling and frosting:
- 280 g icing sugar
- 100 g unsalted butter, room temperature
- 45 ml coconut milk
- 75 ml seedless raspberry jam
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- Make the Sponge: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter and golden caster sugar, beating until light and fluffy. Gradually add the lightly beaten eggs, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the thick coconut milk and shredded coconut.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, sift together the self-raising flour and baking powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Bake the Cakes: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the room temperature butter until creamy. Gradually add the icing sugar, mixing until smooth. Add the coconut milk and beat until fluffy.
- Assemble the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the top, then spread a layer of frosting on top of the jam. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining coconut frosting.
- Serve and Enjoy: Slice the cake and serve it to your guests, enjoying the delightful combination of coconut and raspberry flavors!
