Steps:
- Pre-heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4, and line a 1kg loaf tin with baking parchment. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, caster sugar and vanilla extract, before adding in the eggs one at a time, beating between each addition. Fold in the desiccated coconut, and then add the flour and milk a bit at a time. Spoon a third of the batter into the loaf tin, before spreading the raspberry jam in a layer on top of the batter. Cover the jam with the remaining cake batter. Bake in the oven for 35 minutes, then cover with tin foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes until cooked. Leave the cake to cook on a wire rack, and meanwhile you can prepare the icing. Sieve the icing sugar into a bowl and add water until it reaches the right consistency. Then add the raspberry jam until you get the desired shade of pink. Once the cake is cool, spread the icing over the top, and then cover with some more coconut

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas Mark 4. Grease and line a 450g (1lb.) loaf tin. Blitz the almonds in a food processor to a flour-like consistency (if you are using ground almonds, skip this step).
- In a mixing bowl, mix together the ground almonds, desiccated coconut, lemon zest and baking powder with a pinch of sea salt.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs until fully combined, then add the honey. Add the wet mixture to the dry mixture, then gently fold in the raspberries. Carefully pour the mixture into the lined tin, gently pressing in the extra raspberries. Bake in the hot oven for 50 to 60 minutes, until cooked through and a knife inserted comes out clean, covering with foil for the final 20 minutes.
- Brush with honey and sprinkle with the extra desiccated coconut. Transfer to a wire rack to cool, then slice and serve.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 2 - 9″ round cake pans with baking spray. Combine the cake flour, baking powder and salt in a bowl. Sift these ingredients 3 times. In a mixing bowl, cream butter thoroughly; add sugar gradually. Continue creaming until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and beat well. Add flour mixture alternately with the milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in coconut and vanilla. Fold in egg whites gently until well combined. Pour batter into three 8" cake pans or two 9" cake pans. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a wooden pick or cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool cake. If you used 9" cake pans, slice the layers in half to make a 4 layer cake. Raspberry Preserves (at least 1 cup) *choose a good quality Frosting Directions: In a saucepan, use a whisk to blend 1 cup milk into 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Reduce heat, and cook and stir two minutes more. Remove from heat. Cover the surface with plastic wrap. Cool to room temperature without stirring. In a medium mixing bowl, beat butter, sugar, and extracts until light and fluffy. Add cooled milk mixture to butter mixture a quarter cup at a time, beating on low-speed after each addition until smooth. Add powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well afterward. Beat until mixture is light and fluffy. Add more powdered sugar if necessary to desired thickness. Slice each layer in half. Spread a thin layer of preserves* between the sliced layers. Alternate preserves and frosting between the layers then frost the top and sides of the cake. Sprinkle coconut on top and sides of the frosted cake. Slice and serve! *Note, on the layers that I placed the preserves, I also added a thin layer of coconut.
