The special treat was created alongside the charity’s Great Heilan’ Coo Trail and was sold in store during April and May.
Harry Gow sponsored an artist to decorate a Highland cow sculpture which stands outside its North Kessock branch.
The popular bakery chain has now created an extra special giant version of the cake to celebrate the donation.
It will be raffled off to add to the total given to the hospice.
Hospice corporate fundraiser Karen Duff said: “We are so grateful to Harry Gow for this incredibly generous donation.
“The coo cakes were a huge hit, and to raise £10,000 in such a short space of time through sales is fantastic.
“Harry Gow’s support has been a huge boost to our Great Heilan Coo Trail both in terms of fundraising and of raising its profile and we can’t thank them enough. Whoever wins the giant version of the cake is in for a treat!”
David Gow, from the popular bakery, said: “We are delighted to be sponsoring one of Highland Hospice’s coos – Bos taurus – which can be found outside our North Kessock shop. It’s so important to us and our customers to support good causes in the communities that we live and work in, and we have long been supporters of the amazing palliative care that the hospice provides.
“It’s wonderful to see so many people coming out to follow the trail and visit Bos taurus, and we are thrilled to be able to help the hospice further through the sales of our coo cakes… and our giant coo cake raffle!”
