Description

Delightful Raspberry Coconut Snowball Cake for Spring Celebrations

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups All-purpose flour (Substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option.)
1 tbsp Baking powder (Acts as a leavening agent.)
0.5 tsp Salt (Balances sweetness.)
0.5 cups Unsalted butter (At room temperature for optimal creaming.)
1.5 cups Granulated sugar (Can swap with preferred sweetener.)
3 large Eggs (Essentials for binding.)
1 tsp Vanilla extract (Almond extract can be a substitute.)
1 cup Whole milk (Can use buttermilk or non-dairy alternative.)
1 cup Raspberry preserves (Can swap with apricot or strawberry preserves.)
2 cups Sweetened shredded coconut (Use unsweetened for less sweetness.)
0.5 cups Powdered sugar (Optional for dusting.)

Instructions

Grease a dome-shaped cake pan and dust with flour. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Cream together room temperature butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this dry mix and milk to the wet ingredients until just combined.
Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan. Spoon dollops of raspberry preserves, then cover with remaining batter. Swirl gently to create a marbled effect.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Brush cooled cake lightly with water or syrup to help coconut adhere. Press sweetened shredded coconut over the cake and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
