Ingredients

Cake Bases

2 cups (250 grams) all-purpose flour

0.5 cup (115 grams) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (240 milliliters) milk
3 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare Your Cake Batter

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 4-5 minutes. Next, add in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next.

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and vanilla extract. Slowly add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until everything is well mixed.

Step 2

Bake the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour your baking pans. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 3

Prepare the Fillings

For the raspberry filling, puree the raspberries until smooth. For the coconut filling, whip the coconut cream until fluffy and combine it with the cream cheese and marshmallow fluff. Set these fillings aside for assembly.

Step 4

Assemble the Cake

Once the cakes are completely cool, trim the tops to create a flat surface. Place the first layer of cake on a serving plate, spread a layer of raspberry filling, and top it with the second cake layer. Repeat this process, alternating flavors if desired, until all layers are stacked. Use the remaining filling to cover the entire cake.

Step 5

Decorate Your Cake

Using the leftover frosting, you can create beautiful rose designs using a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Feel free to use additional decorations such as edible flowers or sprinkles for an extra touch.

Step 6

Final Touches

Chill your cake for at least an hour before serving to set the filling. This will enhance the flavor and make slicing easier. Serve slices topped with fresh raspberries or a drizzle of chocolate for a fantastic presentation!

Faq

  • Can I make this cake in advance?

    Absolutely! You can bake the cake layers a day ahead and store them in the fridge. Just frost on the day you plan to serve for maximum freshness.

  • What if I don't have a stand mixer?

    No worries! You can mix everything by hand using a whisk or hand mixer. It may take a bit longer, but it will work just fine!

  • How can I prevent my cake from sinking?

    Ensure that you do not overmix your batter, and check your baking powder for freshness. It could also help to bake at the correct temperature and not open the oven door too soon!

  • Can I frost a warm cake?

    It's best to let the cake cool completely before frosting. This helps the frosting stay firm and not melt off the cake.

  • What can I do if my frosting is too runny?

    If your frosting is too thin, try refrigerating it for a while, or add a bit more powdered sugar until you achieve the right consistency.

  • How do I achieve perfect layers in my cake?

    Level off the tops of your baked cake layers using a serrated knife before stacking. This ensures stability and a beautiful presentation!
