  • Preparation: 85 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (66.1 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 7.5 g Eggs, whole, raw
  • 10.5 g Sugar
  • 10 g Butter, unsalted
  • 10 g Milk, whole
  • 12 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 0.4 g Baking powder
  • 1.5 g Cocoa powder
  • 0.2 g Vanilla extract
  • 9 g Sugar, powdered (icing sugar)
  • 3 g Coffee, strong, brewed
  • 2 g Coconut, desiccated

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray, about 30 × 40 cm, with baking paper.
  2. Melt three-quarters of the butter and let it cool a little. Whisk the eggs with the sugar for 3-4 minutes, until pale and fluffy.
  3. Mix the flour with the baking powder, two-thirds of the cocoa and half the vanilla. Fold it into the eggs in turns with the milk and the melted butter, to a smooth batter.
  4. Spread the batter evenly on the tray and bake for 15-20 minutes, until a skewer comes out clean. Let the cake cool on the tray.
  5. For the icing, melt the rest of the butter and whisk in the icing sugar, the rest of the cocoa, the rest of the vanilla and the coffee to a smooth, glossy icing.
  6. Spread the icing over the cooled cake and scatter the coconut (or coloured sprinkles) over it straight away, before it sets.
  7. Let the icing set for 30 minutes, then cut into 20 squares.
