Triple-Layer Chocolate Cake with Raspberry Coconut Frosting & Raspberry Sauce

The Triple-layer Chocolate Raspberry Cake I made for Christmas this year! Gluten free, Soy free, Dairy free, Peanut free, Tree nut free. I did use soy-free eggs, but you could also use egg replacement product instead.

See recipe below:

My favorite cake recipe I’ve made so far:

  • Follow directions on cake mix, but instead of all the water called for, use half So Delicious coconut milk (chocolate or vanilla–I use chocolate) and the rest water. I also used a few tablespoons of fresh raspberry juice instead of vanilla extract

For the Raspberry/Coconut frosting:

  • 2 cups confectioner’s sugar
  • 3/4 cup non-dairy buttery spread or “butter of your choice. I used Olivio coconut spread, which goes nicely with the fresh raspberry sauce.
  • 2-4 tablespoons of So Delicious coconut milk (sugar free)
  • 2 tablespoons of fresh raspberry juice
  • Mix together, add more coconut milk or raspberry juice if the frosting is too thick, add more powdered sugar if it’s too thin.

Raspberry Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 3-5 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • Bring ingredients to boil over medium high heat. Heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture thickens. I crush the raspberries with a spoon in the process to get a thicker consistency, but you could also leave them whole or in pieces if desired.
  • Cut the cake and drizzle the raspberry sauce over the top. Happy Holidays on a plate! <3
