- 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
- Heat the oven to 200°C and line a baking tray, about 30 × 40 cm, with baking paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spread the icing over the cooled cake and scatter the coconut (or coloured sprinkles) over it straight away, before it sets.
- Let the icing set for 30 minutes, then cut into 20 squares.
