For Frosting: Using a hand or stand mixer, beat butter on MEDIUM speed until smooth. Add sweet glaze mix and half of powdered sugar on LOW speed, mixing until combined. Add remaining powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.

STEP 7

Add the coconut extract and milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, to achieve desired consistency. Mix on MEDIUM speed until light and fluffy.

If using frozen raspberries, bake time might be slightly longer. Additionally, alternate milks or coconut milk can be used in place of regular milk in frosting.
