Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whole milk
Additional:
- ½ cup raspberry preserves (slightly warmed)
- 2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-cup oven-safe dome pan or bowl; dust with flour.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
- Layer and Bake: Pour half the batter into the prepared pan. Dollop raspberry preserves on top, then cover with remaining batter. Swirl gently with a knife or skewer. Bake 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool and Coat: Cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely. Brush the cake with water or syrup, if needed, and press coconut all over to coat. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
