Irresistibly Sweet Raspberry Coconut Snowball Cake Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (A gluten-free blend can work as a substitute.)
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder (Make sure it’s fresh for best results.)
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt (Enhances sweetness and balances flavors.)
  • 0.5 cups Unsalted Butter (Substitute with dairy-free butter for a vegan option.)
  • 1.5 cups Granulated Sugar (Feel free to experiment with brown sugar.)
  • 3 large Eggs (Flax eggs can be used for a vegan alternative.)
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract (Almond extract can lend a unique flavor twist.)
  • 1 cup Whole Milk (Almond or soy milk serves as a great dairy-free alternative.)
  • 1 cup Raspberry Preserves (Fresh raspberries can also work when mashed with sugar.)
  • 3 cups Sweetened Shredded Coconut (Consider using unsweetened for less sweetness.)
  • 0.5 cups Powdered Sugar (Optional for dusting over the cake.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a dome-shaped cake pan by greasing and dusting it with flour.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt, ensuring everything is well mixed.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with whole milk. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan and dollop raspberry preserves over it. Spread the rest of the batter on top, barely swirling with a knife.
  7. Bake for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Brush the top with water or simple syrup and gently press shredded coconut over the entire surface.
  10. If desired, dust with powdered sugar for a sweet finishing touch.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container.
  • Best served at room temperature.
