Description

A moist cake infused with raspberry flavor, topped with a creamy coconut layer and finished with a sweet raspberry glaze.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box of yellow cake mix
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. Prepare the cake mix according to the package instructions using eggs, vegetable oil, and water. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. Once baked, let the cake cool for about 10 minutes. Then, use the handle of a wooden spoon to poke holes all over the cake.
  4. In a bowl, mix the instant vanilla pudding mix with the milk. Pour the pudding mixture over the cake, ensuring it fills the holes.
  5. Let the cake cool completely in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the pudding to set.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the raspberry jam and powdered sugar until smooth. Spread the raspberry glaze over the top of the chilled cake.
  7. Sprinkle shredded coconut over the top of the cake for garnish.
  8. Slice and serve chilled.

Notes

  • For a more intense raspberry flavor, you can add fresh raspberries on top of the cake before serving.
  • For a dairy-free version, use a non-dairy cake mix and substitute the milk with a dairy-free alternative.
