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