    Categories: Cakes, Desserts, Chocolate
    Yield: 12 servings

    3 lg Eggs
    220 g (7.8oz) caster sugar
    110 g (3.9oz) water
    1 ts Vanilla
    2 ts Baking powder
    185 g (6.5oz) plain flour
    1 tb Cornflour
    350 g (12.4oz) icing sugar,
    - sifted
    40 g (1.3oz) butter
    2 tb Cocoa powder
    85 g (2.9oz) boiling water
    225 g Desiccated coconut

    Set oven @ 180ºC/356ºF.

    Spray a 30cm x 20cm rectangle cake pan with oil, line
    the bottom with baking paper and dust the sides with
    flour.

    Separate the eggs. Place the yolks, caster sugar, water
    and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer. Use a whisk
    attachment and whisk until the mixture is light and
    thick (at least 10 minutes).

    Sift the plain flour and cornflour together and set
    aside.

    Gently scrape the egg mixture into another bowl and set
    aside.

    Clean the mixer bowl and whisk.

    Place egg whites and baking powder in mixer bowl and
    whisk on high speed until it forms stiff peaks.

    Sprinkle flour over the egg yolk mixture and fold in
    gently with a spatula being careful not to knock any air
    out of mixture.

    Fold in egg white mixture

    Carefully scrape mixture into cake pan.

    Bake for approx. 20 minutes, or when the sponge starts
    coming away slightly at the sides and feels springy to
    touch in the centre.

    Turn out onto a wire rack covered with baking paper
    immediately. Flip the sponge onto another wire rack so
    that it is bottom side facing down. Cover with a tea
    towel until cold.

    To make the chocolate mixture place icing sugar in a
    bowl and set aside.

    In a small bowl melt the butter in a microwave.

    Dissolve the cocoa in boiling water and add to melted
    butter

    Pour into icing sugar and mix with a spatula until fully
    combined.

    To assemble place the desiccated coconut on a plate.

    Cut the sponge into even squares.

    Dip the sponge in the chocolate mixture, then dip in the
    coconut until fully covered.

    Place on a tray.

    Best eaten the same day.
