Preheat oven to 400 degrees and place a 10½ inch cast iron skillet on the center rack to warm.
In a small bowl mix together soy milk and apple cider vinegar, set aside for 5-10 minutes to form a "buttermilk."
In a separate small bowl mix together flax meal and warm water, set aside for 5-10 minutes to form a "flax egg."
Whisk together "buttermilk," flax egg, olive oil and set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a well and add wet ingredients stirring until just combined. Fold in raspberries.
Carefully remove hot skillet from the oven and swish around coconut oil until skillet is well coated. Add batter, you will hear it sizzle! Evenly sprinkle with sugar.
Place on center rack and bake for 15-20 or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
