  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: Approximately 24 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 cups cake flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 10 ounces frozen raspberries (thawed)
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups desiccated coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla until well combined.
  3. In another bowl, mix cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add dry mixture to the wet ingredients while stirring gently until just combined.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. For the raspberry glaze, combine thawed raspberries and water in a saucepan over medium heat until softened. Strain to extract juice; return juice to the saucepan and add sugar and vegan gelatin powder. Stir until dissolved.
  6. Cut cooled sponge cake into squares, dip each into the raspberry glaze, allowing excess glaze to drip off before rolling in desiccated coconut.
