This refreshing summer cake is made with coconut and raspberry!
Although I don’t recall ever having coconut and raspberry in one dessert, this Coconut Raspberry Poke cake is my favorite!
Poke cakes can be described as a regular type of cake with holes in the top. The filling is then poured on top. In this case, we’re using raspberry preserves or raspberry Jello. It can be topped with coconut flakes or whipped cream for a summer-inspired dessert.
