Coconut Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake #ChristmasWeek
There are many fabulous people I have met through the blogging world. One of my favorites is Kim Beaulieu. Kim has more energy than any human being I know and she has a heart of gold. She is like the Ever Ready bunny! Kim manages her two gorgeous blogs, Cravings of a Lunatic and Kiss my Smoke and always finds time to offer encouragement and support to others.
Kim asked me if I would like to participate in Christmas Week. This is a week when bloggers offer their respective readers super cool gifts and recipes that are sure to tantalize them for the holiday season. It took about half a nanosecond to let Kim know I was in. As for those super cool gifts, we are giving away a $500 gift card, a $250 gift card and a $50 gift card, just in time for the holidays!
I knew I had to bring a very special dessert to the party. I wanted an elegant cake that would work nicely in both a formal setting and a casual get together. Mission accomplished with Coconut Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake. It is a blend of the three named flavors and has a lovely coconut cream glaze over the top.
I could go on and on about Coconut Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake, but this is Day 1 of Christmas Week and I want you to have time to explore all of the festive recipes we’re offering up this week. Be sure to enter the giveaway below to win some amazing prizes.

| Coconut Lemon Raspberry Bundt Cake #ChristmasWeek | Print |
- Cake:
- 11 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1½ cups (11.50 ounces) sugar
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups (9.40 ounces) all purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon (.05 ounces) baking soda
- ½ cup (4.50 ounces) sour cream
- ¼ cup (2.20 ounces) lemon juice
- 1 cups (3.0 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut
- 6 ounces raspberries
- Glaze:
- 2 cups (9.55 ounces) confectioners sugar
- 3 tablespoons (1.85 ounces) milk
- 3 tablespoons (2.10 ounces) cream of coconut
- For the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Butter and flour a 10 cup swirl bundt pan or traditional bundt pan and set aside.
- Whisk together the flour and baking soda and set aside.
- Place the butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Beat until light and fluffy, about three minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time. Blend in the dry ingredients.
- Stir in the sour cream and lemon juice. Add the remaining dry ingredients followed by the coconut flakes and raspberries.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan.
- Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
- Cover the top of the pan with a cooling rack. Turn upside down and gently remove the pan. Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing.
- For the glaze:
- Combine all of the ingredients into a small bowl. Stir until smooth.
- Transfer the glaze to a quart size freezer bag. Seal the bag and cut off a small piece of one of the bottom corners. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Allow each layer of glaze to dry before applying the next.

Most definitely, Liz!! Thanks so much. 🙂
This bundt cake is simply stunning Betsy! Such an amazing flavor combination. The photos are pretty awesome too.
Karen,
Thanks so much for your lovely words. Happy Holidays!
Betsy,
I have yet to master the art of a gorgeous Bundt cake like you have. Thank you for *showing* me how to sugar the pan in your video. Sounds silly, but your method makes so much sense. I’m a visual learner and appreciate it.
Thanks!
Kirsten,
I, too, am a visual learner and find it so much easier to ‘get it’ once I see it! Thanks so much for the feedback. I greatly appreciate it!
What a wonderful cake! This would be lovely served at any holiday gathering!
Kim is amazing!! Oh, and this bundt cake – Looks so moist and delicious!! I just want to dig in!! I love a good lemon/coconut/raspberry combination.
Angela,
Thanks so much. Kim really is da bomb!
Dude, why do we not live next door to each other? That’s just SO wrong. There’s a place for sale down the street from me if you’re interested. Ha. We’ll celebrate your move with this cake. Ha.
Kim,
I AM ALL IN!!!!! Although, living down the street from the Queen of Bark, Booze and BBQ is dangerous!!!
I think of you are the Bundt Queen, but I do believe you’ve outdone yourself with this one. Please send me one as pictured, with an extra jar of frosting that I can eat with a spoon:)
Laura,
Thanks so very much. That is quite the compliment and, Mother Would KNOW!
