A recipe from Raspberry coconut layer cake full of sweetness! Inside, 3 levels of coconut cake, filled with a white chocolate raspberry whipped ganache and fresh raspberries… Its pink color is 100% natural since it comes from raspberry coulis.
You have at home raspberries that are just waiting to be tasted? So take advantage of it to make this pink layer cake with raspberry and coconut!
This is a fairly simple recipe to make, you just have to take the time to do it. do "step by step" to avoid unnecessary stress. I advise you to start it the day before or two days before.
How to make this raspberry coconut layer cake?
We start by preparing the mounted ganache (a long resting time is necessary). Prepare the raspberry coulis, then the ganache with the white pastry chocolate and the whole liquid cream.
For the game Coconut cake, we proceed like a classic cake. We whip the butter, coconut oil and sugar, then add the eggs. Then the dry ingredients, finishing with the coconut milk.
For the final assembly, we place the first level of cake which we garnish with whipped raspberry ganache. We sprinkle with fresh raspberries before placing the next cake on top and so on! Finally we cover the entire cake with ganache then we decorate the top with fresh raspberries, small meringues, domes of whipped cream...
My tips for making this layer cake a success
Respect the rest time for the whipped ganache, otherwise... It won't whip! One night is really important. Also, don't change the amount of white chocolate, otherwise it will be too liquid.
The day you assemble the ganache, whip slowly to prevent it from "cutting" or making lumps. No maximum speed. It must double in volume slightly.
For the coconut cake, put your ingredients well at room temperature. This is important for the texture. The coconut oil should not be melted, but at room temperature, very creamy.

I created this recipe as part of my collaboration with the KitchenAid brand. This all-pink cake is indeed a symbol: that of the fight against Breast Cancer. A cause celebrated every year on the occasion ofPink October.
The KitchenAid brand has supported the French association for 15 years. This year, she became a benefactor member by actively supporting the campaign organized by the association "Breast Cancer, Let's Talk About It!" ". KitchenAid contributes to the various Pink Ribbon Prizes, to support clinical research programs and the care and support projects offered to patients with breast cancer.
To ensure this support for the association Le Cancer du Sein, Parlons-en! KitchenAid has decided to put on sale for a good cause, from October 2017, a Artisan multifunction food processor pearly raspberry sorbet color. A portion of the sales is donated to the association.

Hello,
The quantities are for a mold (Layer Cake I guess) of what diameter?
Thanks for your help
Stephanie
Hello Stéphanie, these are 3 15cm molds for this recipe :)
Hello,
Same question as Stéphanie.
I would like to make this cake (but in naked cake). For which mold diameter are the quantities?
Thank you in advance.
Hello, these are 3 molds of 15cm in diameter ;)
Hello, do you need the 15cm high mold for this cake that you recommend for other cakes like the raspberry chocolate layer cake?
Merci :)
Hello I have just made your recipe I usually do all your recipes and it's always perfect but here for the sponge cake I had a big problem indeed the sponge cake was too fatty and when unmolding it was 'is completely crumbled and it stuck to the mussels I do not understand why maybe it is due to the coconut oil here you say coconut oil at room temperature but me I melted my coconut oil and I I weighed 95 g of liquid oil Is this the exact place to take a piece of my oil because it is compact and weighs 95 g? thank you so much
Hello, I weigh it solid and then I melt it. If you think the result is too greasy, do not hesitate to reduce the amount of butter and/or oil. See you soon :)
Hello, I'm going to try your recipe, but when I read it carefully I noticed that in the coconut cake part, the little 1/ (Preheat the oven to 180° traditional heat. Butter and line 3 15 cm diameter molds. Leave to cool on the rack then unmold, wrap in cling film while waiting to assemble.) There is an error in order since here we are just preparing the molds before putting the sponge cake. There is nothing that goes in the oven, is that right? I prefer to ask you before attacking the cake to see if there are no steps forgotten!
Have a nice day Elsa.
Hello Elsa, you did well to let me know! I recently added subtitles to the recipe, and I must have accidentally changed the position of this sentence! Don't worry, we let the cakes cool only after baking, so there are no missing steps. I hope you like it! See you soon
Hello,
Wow, what a beautiful cake!! I would like to double the doses... how do I do it for the mold? A 30 cm mold? A 20 cm one making 4 cakes? Thank you for your answer
Hello, by doubling the doses, you mean making 2 layer cakes of 15cm in diameter (like my recipe)? If so, just double all the ingredients on the list. See you soon :)
Hello,
Thank you for your quick reply !! I would like to make a single large scoop cake high enough, hence the question of the size of the mold if I double all the quantities.
Okay, in this case to stay on the same effect as in my photos, you can take 20cm molds for your cooking and double the quantities of ingredients. That should be enough. See you soon :)
For the height I plan 4 sponge cakes? Question cooking, do I extend the duration a little? Thank you very much for your help I am preparing my daughter's 3rd birthday !!
You have to follow the recipe (the whole process will be the same with 3 molds of 20cm instead of 15cm). For the duration, you test with a wooden skewer at the end of the cooking time given in the recipe and you add 5 minutes in 5 minutes until it is cooked.
Successful cake, for 20 people !! Too bad I can't send you pictures ?? !!
Glad the result was up to par! See you soon :)
Hello,
I want to make this Yum cake
Is it possible to bake the cake in a single 20cm mold and then cut it into 3?
If possible, should I stay on an oven at 180 ° C
How long do you recommend for cooking?
Thank you in advance
Hello Helena, I generally advise against cooking in a single mold: it does not cook evenly... The center will not be cooked enough, the edges will be too dry... You can take 3 molds of 20 cm, as for the cooking it is up to you to test according to your oven, on the other hand stay at 180 °. See you soon!
Hello,
I would like to make this cake but in a rectangular shape and then cover it with marzipan, or sugar paste to make a fire truck, for my son's birthday. Do you think it is possible to bake it in two cake tins? Thank you!
Hello, yes you can try :)
Hello,
I want to make this cake but without chocolate, do I double the amount of raspberry or do I leave it like this?
Thank you !
Hello Julia, it's impossible to make whipped ganache without chocolate... See you soon :)
At what stage should I add the natural vanilla extract?
For my part, the first two cakes were not cooked enough so they were difficult to unmold and they broke, the 3rd I cooked for 35 min high low mode at 180°C and no difficulty.
Hello Caroline, vanilla is added after the eggs, I just added it to the recipe. For cooking, it is important to adapt it to your own oven (because they are all different). See you soon :)
Hello, I would like to make this cake which looks very delicious to me.
I was wondering if this recipe was possible with just 2 molds (because I only have 2) and then cut the sponge cakes in half, to make 4 thinner layers as a result?
Thank you .
Hello Emilie, yes you can do it but be careful that your two cakes are well cooked through, that's the problem when you only make two batches. See you soon :)
