use a larger and smaller pan for a layered final cake. OR you could divide the mix between two 8inch/20cm same- size pans, so then you don’t have to slice it down the middle to add the filling).


6. The cake sponge is ready when it becomes lightly golden. Let it rest for 5 minutes, then take it out of the tins to completely cool down.


7. If you didn’t use separate pans, carefully cut through the middle of the cakes to split the cake in half.


8. Whisk the coconut cream to make it light and fluffy.


9. To assemble the cake, spread the raspberry jam onto one of the sponges, then cover it with some coconut cream and place the second sponge on top.


10. Cover the whole cake with coconut cream. Sprinkle with shredded coconut. To make it extra pretty, arrange some edible flowers on top.
