Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Whisk together the all-purpose flour and baking powder until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Combine both mixtures until the batter is consistent and free of lumps.
  3. Pour the batter into the baking tray, spreading it evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let it cool completely in the pan.
  4. Once cooled, lift the sponge from the tray, transfer it to a cutting board, and cut into 2–3 cm square pieces.
  5. Spread raspberry jam on all sides of each cake square, ensuring each piece is fully coated.
  6. Roll each jam-coated square in the desiccated coconut until completely covered.
  7. Place the coated pieces on a platter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
