  • 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

  1. Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 10-cup oven-safe dome pan or bowl; dust with flour.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined.
  5. Layering: 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.
  6. Baking: Bake 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.
  7. Coating: Brush the cake with water or syrup, if needed, and press coconut all over to coat. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Slice and enjoy!
