  • 125 g butter
  • 1 1/4 cup sugar (325 ml)
  • 4 eggs
  • CHOCOLATE SAUCE:
  • =================
  • 1 1/2 cup boiling water (375 ml)
  • 3 cups sugar (750 ml)
  • Pinch of salt (1 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa (30 ml)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (15 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla essence (5 ml)
  • 5 cups shredded coconut (1250 ml)

Directions
  1. SPONGE CAKE:
  2. =============
  3. Grease two square baking trays.
  4. Sift flour, baking powder and salt together.
  5. Beat the butter until creamy.
  6. Beat the eggs into the butter one by one.
  7. Beat well after each addition.
  8. Fold the dry mixture gradually into the butter mixture.
  9. Pour into the greased baking trays.
  10. Bake for 15 - 20 minutes at 400 deg F (200deg C)
  11. Turn out to cool down.
  12. Cut into squares, not too small.
  13. CHOCOLATE SAUCE:
  14. ==================
  15. Mix water, sugar, salt and cocoa in a double boiler until sugar is dissolved.
  16. Stir in butter and essence.
  17. Take off the heat.
  18. Dip the cake squares into the sauce so that all the sides should be covered.
  19. Don't dunk the whole thing in, just the sides lightly.
  20. Now roll it in the coconut.
  21. I don't eat coconut, so I used chocolate vermicilli or grated chocolate.
  22. Keep in the fridge.
