Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Dissolve raspberry jelly crystals in 1 cup of boiling water. Stir until dissolved and mix with ½ cup of cold water. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours.
  2. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly spray patty pans with non-stick spray. Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes).
  3. Gradually add in eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well. Alternately add self-raising flour and milk until just combined, careful not to overmix.
  4. Scoop batter into prepared patty pans, filling two-thirds full. Bake for around 15 minutes until golden and springy.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool in pans for 5-10 minutes. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Level the tops of the cooled cakes if necessary. Whip cream with sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
  7. Dip each cake into the jelly, then roll in coconut. Pipe cream on flat sides of half the cakes and sandwich with remaining halves.
  8. Refrigerate assembled cakes for 30 minutes to set jelly and meld flavors. Serve and enjoy!
