After the success of the blueberry lemon cake with coconut crumble topping, a colleague of mine, who is also a good friend, asked if I could bake something chocolately and coconutty as she is a massive fan of both.
I found a recipe for a chocolate coconut cake but thought it might be a bit too much for the Office with the cookies and fairy cakes, so I settled for these chocolate coconut squares.
These are quite similar to lamingtons, a famous Australian cake, but there have been some disputes on the recipe website, as these chocolate coconut squares have cocoa powder while lamingtons are made out of sponge cakes.
The most fiddly part of these squares is the dipping in chocolate icing (butter, melted chocolate and icing sugar) and then into desiccated coconut. As you can imagine, it is quite tricky to immerse the pieces into sticky gooey chocolate icing and then into dry coconut without bits flying all over the kitchen counter!
They have turned out really rich, moist and yummy so I hope they would meet expectations tomorrow!
