Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare the batter following the instructions on the cake mix box and pour it into a greased baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 30 minutes until it's no longer warm.
Poke holes in the cooled cake using the end of a wooden spoon, aiming for even spacing and about halfway deep.
In a mixing bowl, dissolve the raspberry gelatin in 2 cups of hot water. Pour this mixture evenly over the cake.
Warm the raspberry preserves in the microwave for 30 seconds, then spread them evenly over the top of the cake.
Spread the thawed whipped topping over the raspberry preserves to cover the entire surface.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the whipped topping.
Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.

Notes

For best results, ensure the holes are even and deep enough for the gelatin to infuse. Experiment with different flavors of gelatin and preserves to customize your cake!
