Ingredients
- 1 box of white cake mix plus ingredients listed on the package
- 1 (18 ounce) jar of seedless raspberry jam
- 1 tablespoon water
- 12 ounces fresh raspberries divided
- 1 (3.4 ounce) box of instant coconut cream pudding
- 1 cup milk chilled
- 8 ounces whipped topping thawed
- 1/3 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare the cake in a 9x13 inch pan according to the package directions. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes.
- While the cake is cooling, combine the raspberry preserves and water in a small sauce pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until the preserves liquify.
- Mix in 6 ounces raspberries and cook for 2-3 minutes, breaking up the raspberries with a spoon.
- Poke holes every inch over the surface of the slightly cooled cake with the handle of a wooden spoon.
- Spread the raspberry filling over the cake and spread it into an even layer with a spoon or rubber spatula, pressing the filling down into the holes. Allow the cake to cool completely.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the milk and pudding until it thickens. Fold in the whipped topping.
- Spread the pudding mixture over the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least two hours.
- When ready to serve, garnish with the shredded coconut and remain raspberries.
- Slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container or well covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
- I do not recommend freezing the cake, as the texture of the cake will be compromised when thawed, resulting in a soggy consistency. The filling may become watery, and the pudding in the topping may separate, affecting the overall quality of the dessert.
