Chocolate Coconut Squares
This birthday I was in a coconut mood. I didn’t even make a round cake 😀
But, I wasn’t sorry. These squares are moist and creamy, full of coconut flavor.
I enjoyed every bite :))
Ingredients:
Cake:
- 6 eggs
- 70 g (6 tablespoons) sugar
- 45 ml (3 tablespoons) oil
- 20 g (3 tablespoons) cocoa
- 30 g (5 tablespoons) flour
- 10 g (2 1/2 teaspoons) baking powder
Cream:
- 1 litre (4 1/2 cups) of milk
- 100 g (8 tablespoons) sugar
- 200 g (2 1/2 cups) shredded coconut
- 30 g (15 teaspoons) flour
- 50 g (10 teaspoons) butter
Glaze:
- 100 g (1/2 cup) dark chocolate
- 50 g (10 teaspoons) butter
Preparation:
Beat eggs and sugar until the mixture is foamy, stir in 3 tablespoons of oil, cocoa, flour and baking powder.
The resulting mixture pour into a pre-greased and floured pan and bake at 170 °C for 20 min.
While the cake is baking, cook coconut with milk and sugar. When the milk boils add flour and cook over low heat stirring constantly until the flour thickens. In the warm cream mix add butter and stir until dissolved. Still warm cream pour over the cake. Cool off.
Melt chocolate over steam, add butter and stir until dissolved. Pour over cake and let it cool off. The cooled cake cut into squares.
Enjoy 🙂
