Рецепт Raspberry Coconut Cake with Coconut Streusel
Raspberry Coconut Cake with Coconut Streusel
Raspberry Coconut Cake with Coconut Streusel-a simple coconut cake dotted with raspberries and topped with sweet coconut streusel.
I don’t bake a lot of cakes, but I have made more than my fair share. I recently made a Raspberry Coconut Cake with Coconut Streusel and Josh said that it is the BEST cake I’ve ever made. I was kind of surprised because I just made this cake up on a whim. I wasn’t expecting it to get the BEST cake tittle. I personally don’t know if I would give it the best cake award because I am a chocolate cake kind of gal, but I will say that this cake is really, really good! It is definitely a winner!
Raspberries and coconut are a match made and heaven and the perfect ingredients for a summer cake!
The cake is made with coconut milk, flaked coconut, and has a coconut streusel topping so if you are a coconut lover, you are in for a real treat!
Instead of using a frosting or glaze, I topped the cake with a sweet coconut streusel. The cake didn’t need anything else. The coconut streusel topping was the perfect finishing touch to my cake!
I made this cake in the morning and was planning on saving it for dessert after dinner, but Josh decided he wanted a piece for breakfast. He immediately fell in love and couldn’t stop raving about my cake! He had a piece for breakfast and dessert that night:) This cake is great anytime of the day!
If you are looking for a simple summer cake to make, give my Raspberry Coconut Cake with Coconut Streusel a try! According to Josh, it is the BEST cake I’ve ever made!
