Ingredients

Cake

  • 5 eggs separated
  • 5 tbsp sugar
  • 5 tbsp strong baker’s flour
  • 1 tsp BP

Cream

  • 1 box 40 g vanilla pudding powder
  • 100 milk
  • 100 g fine unsweetened desiccated coconut
  • 300 ml milk
  • 80 g sugar
  • 1 medium carton heavy whipping cream 35% 454 ml

Topping and Side

  • 1 bag blanched almond slices slivered almond – 100 g
  • 2-3 tbsp fine unsweetened desiccated coconut

Instructions

Cake

  • Mix flour and baking powder, set to side
  • Into the bowl of egg whites, add the sugar, whip until stiff meringue
  • Preheat oven to 350 F
  • In the bowl of yolks, stir lightly, then fold into meringue, followed with flour mixture
  • Dump batter into 7-8 inch spring form pan that is layered with parchment paper
  • Bake cake for 25 mins, take out of the oven, let it stand for 1-2 minutes (should your cake developed a dome, it will flatten once out, don’t worry)
  • Peel the parchment, let cool to room temperature completely, then slice cake into 3 layers.

Cream

  • While cake is baking, make the filling 😍
  • Into a pot, pour milk, sugar, and coconut, bring to light boil, stirring often. While doing so, in a cup, mix milk and pudding powder. Once mixture in the pot started to simmer, pour in pudding mixture, take off from heat.
  • Let cool completely and then chill in the fridge for at least an H
  • Once cake is cooled and coconut filling is chilled, turn heavy cream into whipped cream, then mix it into chilled coconut filling.
  • Lay a cake, spread some cream, top with almonds, then lay another cake, repeat steps once more, then top with the last layer. Cover cake with cling wrap, chill overnight.
  • Store leftover to use to finish decorating the cake the next day.

Topping

  • Toast leftover almond, set to side to cool
  • Take out the cake from the fridge, spread cream on the top and on the sides.
  • Press toasted almonds on the sides, while for the top, sprinkle with coconut
  • Unwrap Raffaelo, and place some on the cake
