Inspired by the popular Raffaello confection, this cake can be easily prepared at home using simple, readily available ingredients.
Ingredients:
For the cake:
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
½ cup milk
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the cream:
1 cup whipping cream
½ cup sweetened condensed milk
200 grams cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For decoration:
1 cup shredded coconut
Raffaello balls, as desired
Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a cake pan with a little butter and lightly dust it with flour.
Beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla until the mixture becomes light in color and fluffy.
Add the oil and milk while continuing to whisk.
Sift the flour with the baking powder, then gradually add the mixture to the batter, gently stirring until all the ingredients are well combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until fully cooked. Allow the cake to cool completely before decorating.
To prepare the cream, beat the cream cheese with the condensed milk and vanilla until smooth.
Add the whipping cream and continue beating until you achieve a light, smooth, and well-combined cream.
Slice the cake horizontally into two layers.
Spread some of the cream between the layers, then cover the top and sides of the cake completely with the remaining cream.
Cover the cake with shredded coconut, gently pressing it onto the surface so it adheres well. Decorate the top with Raffaello balls as desired.
Refrigerate the cake for at least two hours before serving to allow the cream to set and enhance its rich texture and flavor.
