Ingredients
- 125 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 grams Cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 large Egg
- 150 grams Self-raising flour
- 50 grams Desiccated coconut
- 200 grams Dark chocolate (for topping)
- 50 milliliters Heavy cream (for topping)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in the sugar and cocoa powder until smooth.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and the egg, whisking quickly to combine and avoid cooking the egg.
Step 4
Fold in the self-raising flour and desiccated coconut until the mixture forms a thick batter.
Step 5
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface with the back of a spoon or a spatula.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the slice feels firm but springy to the touch.
Step 7
While the slice is cooling, prepare the chocolate topping: In a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water (or in the microwave in short intervals), melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream together, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Step 8
Once the slice has completely cooled, pour the chocolate topping over the top, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Step 9
Allow the chocolate topping to set in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before slicing into 12 squares or rectangles.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy!
