Step-by-Step Instructions for Raspberry Coconut Snowball Cake
  1. Prepare the baking pan by greasing it with butter and dusting with flour. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and mix with the wet ingredients, alternating with milk until blended.
  4. Pour half the batter into the pan, dollop raspberry preserves, then add the remaining batter and swirl gently.
  5. Bake for 45 to 55 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  6. Once cool, brush with water or simple syrup and coat with shredded coconut. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
