This Coconut Cake is worth breaking your new year’s resolution for.
I took a break from reading about how water, yeast and flour magically turn into bread to share with you one of my favorite winter cakes: Coconut Cake with Raspberry Filling.
I only call it a winter cake, because I only make it during the winter. It’s got more of an umbrella-topped drink vibe with the coconut and raspberry, but maybe that’s what you need on a cold winter day.
It all starts with the coconut cake. It’s basically an old fashioned white cake, but I left the egg yolks in it, because those extra yolks keep the cake crazy moist. I used my tried and true raspberry jam to fill the cake, and then covered it with my favorite cream cheese frosting with a kick of coconut extract.
Remember how I said I only make this cake during winter? It’s because I used to make it without toasting the coconut . The shredded, white coconut looked like flakes of snow. But then I realized how lovely toasted coconut is, and I dropped the winter aesthetic for a tastier cake. Decide what works for you and live your best coconut cake life.
Happy Sifting!
