Equipment

• Thermomix

Ingredients

• 250 grams butter
• 70 grams cocoa powder
• 225 grams self raising flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 150 grams desiccated coconut
• 290 grams caster sugar
• 4 eggs
• 190 grams milk

Chocolate Icing

• 1 & 1/2 cups icing sugar mixture
• 1 tbsp cocoa
• 1 tsp butter softened
• 2 tbsp boiling water
• sprinkles to decorate

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 160℃ and line the base and sides of a 20cm round cake tin with baking paper.
• Roughly chop the butter into pieces and place into your Thermomix bowl. Cook for 3 minutes, 60 degrees, speed 2 or until melted.
• Add the remaining ingredients and mix for 15 seconds, speed 5.
• Scrape down the sides of your Thermomix bowl and mix for a further 15 seconds, speed 5 to completely combine.
• Transfer the mixture to your prepared cake tin and bake for 60 minutes or until cooked through when tested with a skewer.
• Allow the cake to cook in the tin for 15 minutes before carefully turning out onto a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
• Once the cake has cooled completely, you can make the chocolate icing. Sift the cocoa and icing sugar together into a bowl.
• Add the softened butter and pour the boiling water directly over the butter.
  Using a small whisk, combine all the ingredients until the chocolate icing is smooth. If you find your icing is still a little firm, add an extra teaspoon of boiling water.
• Use a large spoon to scoop the icing and place onto your cake. Spread the icing out using a spatula or butter knife until the cake is covered. Decorate with coloured sprinkles.

Notes

You can freeze this cake un-iced in the fridge for up to one month.

It's important to make sure your cake has completely cooled before icing.

Enjoy!
