Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm cake pan with baking paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the sugar and eggs together until thick and creamy.
  3. Gently fold in the flour, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
  5. Once cooled, prepare the raspberry jelly according to the packet instructions, using the boiling and cold water. Allow the jelly to cool slightly until just starting to thicken.
  6. Pour the thickened jelly over the cooled cake, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the desiccated coconut over the top.
  7. Let the cake set in the refrigerator for an hour to allow the jelly to firm up.
  8. Cut the cake into squares and serve with a generous dollop of vanilla custard.

Chef’s Tips

  • Ensure the cake is completely cool before pouring the jelly to prevent it from soaking into the sponge.
  • For a stronger coconut flavor, lightly toast the coconut before sprinkling it on top of the jelly.
  • Serve chilled for the most refreshing texture against the creamy custard.
