Method

4 steps · 43 min

01
Prepare the cake base
Start by preheating your oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4. Butter and line the base of a 20cm square baking tin. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until the mixture lightens in color and becomes creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time; if the mixture looks like it's separating, add 1 tablespoon of the flour to bring it back together.
02
Bake the cake
Sieve the self-raising flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder directly into the wet ingredients. Gently fold them in with a metal spoon, then stir in the milk just until everything is combined. Scrape the batter into your prepared tin, smoothing the top. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cake springs back when you lightly press the center. Let it cool completely in the tin before handling.
03
Prepare chocolate icing
For the icing, combine the plain chocolate, butter, and 4 tablespoons of water in a small pan. Heat this gently over low heat, stirring occasionally, until everything is melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool slightly, then beat in the icing sugar until it's thick enough to coat a spoon and easily spread.
04
Coat and set squares
Once the cake is completely cool, lift it from the tin and peel away the lining paper. Cut the cake into 16 squares. Dip each square into the chocolate icing, making sure it's fully coated, then roll it in the desiccated coconut. Arrange the finished squares on a cooling rack and let the icing set before serving.
