Time 1h20m

Yield 14

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 lemons, divided
2 cups all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 pinch salt
2 ½ cups white sugar
3 large eggs
1 ½ cups extra-virgin olive oil
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut
1 pint fresh raspberries
3 tablespoons white sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch pan.
  • Zest 2 lemons into a small bowl. Juice 1 of the lemons into another small bowl. Reserve remaining lemon for another use.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • Whisk sugar and eggs together in another bowl until they form a ribbon. Stir olive oil, milk, lemon zest, and 1/2 of the lemon juice into the sugar-egg mixture until thoroughly combined. Fold in dry ingredients and coconut, then pour into the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Remove cake and let cool completely, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • While cake is baking, place raspberries, sugar, and remaining lemon juice in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat and stir until raspberries break down and mixture has thickened and is starting to boil, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a serving container.
  • Cut cake into pieces and spoon or pour some of the sauce over top.
