It's a rather simple recipe to make, you just have to take the time to do it. do it "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 and garnished with raspberry whipped ganache. We sprinkle with fresh raspberries before placing the 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 will not rise! One night is really important. Do not change the dose of white chocolate either, as it may be too runny.

The day you assemble the ganache, whip slowly to prevent it "slicing", that it makes lumps. No maximum speed. It should lightly double in volume.

For the coconut cake, put your ingredients well at room temperature. It is important for the texture. Coconut oil should not be melted, but at room temperature, very creamy.

Instructions:

Raspberry whipped ganache

  • Bring half the cream to a boil and pour over the chocolate to melt. Add the coulis, mix then pour the rest of the cream. Film and refrigerate overnight.
  • On D-day, whip the ganache with the mixer or robot (low / medium speed) to obtain a light creamy consistency like a firm whipped cream.

Coconut cake

  • Preheat the oven to 180 ° traditional heat. Butter and line 3 molds 15cm in diameter.

  • Sift the flour, baking powder and salt then incorporate into the dough, alternating with the coconut milk (previously whipped to make it homogeneous). Pour into the 3 molds in equal parts. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes depending on your oven, check the doneness with a wooden pick.

I created this recipe as part of my collaboration with the KitchenAid brand. This 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. Part of the sales is donated to the association.

    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 down. If you think the result is too fatty, do not hesitate to reduce the dose of butter and / or oil. See you soon :)

    Hello I am going to test your recipe, but reading carefully I noticed that in the coconut cake part the little 1 / (Preheat the oven to 180 ° traditional heat. Butter and line 3 molds 15 cm in diameter. Leave to cool on the grid then unmold, wrap in cling film while waiting for assembly.) There is an error in the order since we are just preparing the molds before placing the sponge cake. There is nothing going in the oven, is that right? I prefer to ask you before tackling the cake to see if there are any steps left behind!
    Have a nice day Elsa.

      Hello Elsa, you did well to let me know! I added subtitles recently in the recipe, and I had to inadvertently change this sentence! No worries, the cakes are left to cool only after baking, so there is no lack of steps. I hope you are going to like it ! See you soon

      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 :)

      Ok, 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 :)

      You have to follow the recipe (all the unwinding will be identical with 3 molds of 20cm instead of 15cm). For the duration, you test with a wooden pick at the end of the cooking time given in the recipe and you add 5 minutes in 5 minutes until it is cooked.

    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 Héléna, I do not recommend cooking in a single mold as a general rule: it does not cook evenly… The heart will not be cooked enough, the edges will be too dry… You can take 3 molds of 20 cm. cooking it is up to you to test according to your oven, on the other hand stay on 180 °. See you soon !

    Hello,
    I would like to make this cake but in a rectangle shape and then cover it with marzipan, or sugar paste to make a fire truck, for my son's birthday. So do you think that it is possible to bake it in two cake tins? Thank you !

    At what stage to put the natural vanilla extract?
    For my part the first two cakes were not cooked enough suddenly they were difficult to unmold and they broke, the 3rd I cooked 35min high low mode at 180°C and no difficulty.

      Hello Caroline, the vanilla goes 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 thoroughly cooked, that's the problem when you only make two batches. See you soon :)
