Decorate with additional raspberries and shredded coconut if desired.
Variations & Tips
For a nutty twist, add a handful of chopped toasted almonds or pecans to the batter. If you prefer a more pronounced coconut flavor, use coconut extract in place of vanilla extract in the frosting. You can also substitute the raspberry puree with a different berry puree, such as strawberry or blackberry, for a different flavor profile. For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt in place of some of the butter in the cake batter.
