What a lovely cake. Like you I love the raspberry and coconut flavor combination. I will keep this one in mind for sure.


A true delight! The photos are fantastic, and the cake looks fabulous......thanks! j


I think this looks out of this world delicious! I love raspberry. I especially like it with chocolate, so I think a great cup of hot cocoa would be so good with it...or a cup of chocolate-raspberry coffee would be awesome as well.
As always...Great job!!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait for your next dessert! :D
