All through my childhood I grew up with jam coconut cake and that was Dad's favorite cake.
Simple but really delicious when combined with a golden yellow or white cake, spread with jam topped with coconut.
We all loved coconut cream pie also, so I thought lets put all these flavors together! Coconut filling, golden cake, raspberry jam and shredded coconut!
Are you with me? Well here it is!
Dad Favorite combination coconut cake with raspberry jam!
If you are a raspberry and coconut lover, this is the cupcake for you. Two great taste in one!
My dad loved a simple yellow cake with coconut and raspberry jam on top. He would have loved these!
The filling is amazing and the raspberry compliments that coconut cupcake in flavors.
The cake is delicious, moist and tender and the pudding keeps them so moist inside.
I have always been a big fan of coconut and raspberry together and in a cupcake, it's a bonus dessert.
Dad just loved this combination. I make these in his memory often thinking how much he would have loved them.
I know he would have enjoyed this version of coconut and raspberry cupcakes, especially with the cream inside them and then topped with raspberry.
He always loved coconut and raspberry cakes. Mom made one every year for his birthday.
