Coconut Raspberry Bundt Cake

April 18, 2012 by bblondie 56 Comments

Coconut Raspberry Bundt Cake | ButtercreamBlondie.com

Can a cake be life changing?  I think so.  But then again, I’m a girl whose first love was cake.  Out of all the cakes I’ve tested and tasted, this one is at the top of my list.  You should also keep in mind that snagging a spot at the top of that list is not easy, but this cake hits all the right marks.

I think it’s the coconut milk that makes this cake so damn good.  I guess it could also have something to do with the six eggs, but who’s counting??  The unsweetened coconut milk combined with shredded coconut, and a splash of rum create nothing short of a crave worthy treat.  I also love to feed this cake to people who tell me they don’t like coconut.  One bite and they quickly realize they’ve been seriously missing out!  To keep the sweetness of this cake balanced, I add a few cups of raspberries to the mix. That little bit of tartness is just what it needs, and they add a freshness to the cake that I love.  It doesn’t hurt that they also add a pop of pink to the cake!  I feel like I should also give you a little warning about this cake.  The cake batter itself is so good, it will take an unbelievable amount of self control not to devour it.  I speak from experience here people…

This is also a no fuss cake when it comes to both baking and finishing it.  Whenever something comes up that I “need” a cake for quickly, this is where I turn.  I was contemplating making a glaze for it yesterday, but it really doesn’t need it.  It’s so flavorful that a little garnish goes a long way.  A quick dusting of powdered sugar, a few raspberries, and some toasted coconut finish it off beautifully.  I hope you try this one guys!

    >Haha, that would be a great first date question!! You can definitely make it in smaller pans & this cake freezes extremely well. If you want you can half this recipe to make a smaller cake. As for exact bake times, I'm not positive. I did bake one in a 6" bundt pan & that took 30 minutes. So happy you like it & I hope you enjoy it 🙂

    >Meghan…this cake is absolutely gorgeous! I absolutely adore coconut and need to start using it more in my baking. Especially in using coconut milk. I bet this tastes even more fabulous than it looks! I love bundt cakes so much, that I actually have an entire board on pinterest devoted to them. And this is going right on there! : )

    >I.Have.To.Make.This.NOW!!! What an incredible cake… I have been dreaming about it ever since I saw a pic of the batter on FB!! Unfortunately… I ended up marrying a man that hates coconut… (the food I LOVE MOST in the whole world!) I should have asked that question on our first date! Well – I have survived 10 years so far – but this cake is driving me crazy!! Can I make it in smaller pans and freeze? If so, what size would you recommend? (and baking times?) If not – maybe I will just make the whole thing and give away leftovers (if there are any)..
