This is a white sponge cake, cut in blocks, dipped in a chocolate sauce and then dipped into coconut. In my language it's called Ystervarkies

How to make it
- SPONGE CAKE:
- =============
- Grease two square baking trays.
- Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.
- Beat the butter until creamy.
- Beat the eggs into the butter one by one.
- Beat well after each addition.
- Fold the dry mixture gradually into the butter mixture.
- Pour into the greased baking trays.
- Bake for 15 - 20 minutes at 400 deg F (200deg C)
- Turn out to cool down.
- Cut into squares, not too small.
- CHOCOLATE SAUCE:
- ==================
- Mix water, sugar, salt and cocoa in a double boiler until sugar is dissolved.
- Stir in butter and essence.
- Take off the heat.
- Dip the cake squares into the sauce so that all the sides should be covered.
- Don't dunk the whole thing in, just the sides lightly.
- Now roll it in the coconut.
- I don't eat coconut, so I used chocolate vermicilli or grated chocolate.
- Keep in the fridge.
