We had made this cake once before for one of Steven's co-workers, and we considered it a practice run for this month's challenge... we decided to stick to the recipe as written, for the most part, and i made a couple of mistakes...
1- i added too much lemon juice to the frosting and
2- too much raspberry filling between the layers, as opposed to the photos in the book, which show thinner layers...
one different thing we DID do was toast the coconut before covering the cake with it...
anyway... when all was said and done, it actually was quite tasty... When Steven took it to work today, one of his co-workers stated that it lifted her spirits!
Therefore, I consider our work done! And now, the photos...

So what if there's too much fruit? Makes it tastier!
Great Job!
Isn't it great when you can make someone's day with cake! If only more problems could be solved that way...
Beautifull cake. It would lift my spirits if someone brought that cake to me!

I love to see the coulis oozing out. It looks great. Well done.
Yum, I think too much raspberry in the middle is a good thing!
Your cake looks fantastic.
