Ingredients

Servings

• 200 gram Dark chocolate
• 150 gram Butter
• 150 gram Sugar
• 4 unit Eggs
• 100 gram All-purpose flour
• 100 gram Shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 50 gram Toasted coconut flakes

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and line a 9-inch round cake pan.
2. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate and butter together over a pan of simmering water, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugar and eggs until pale and creamy. Gradually add the melted chocolate mixture, whisking constantly.
4. In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, shredded coconut, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the chocolate mixture, folding gently until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
7. In a chilled bowl, whip the whipping cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
8. Once the cake has cooled, spread the whipped cream over the top. Sprinkle with toasted coconut flakes.
9. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
10. Slice and enjoy!
