A sweet family tradition: Irresistible chocolate-coconut cubes

I have a huge weakness for homemade baked goods. When I can prepare a delicious snack I enjoyed as a child, I am in heaven. This time will be no exception. In just a moment, I will share a beloved family recipe for a brilliant dessert that you can make in the blink of an eye with just a few simple ingredients.

My family has adored the brilliant chocolate-coconut cubes for many years, which hide a fluffy surprise in a delicious cake. My mum is the master of making them. I am now sharing the recipe with you since she shared it with me. It's simply too valuable not to reach a wider audience. Such sweets are irresistible—they are both delicious and charming simultaneously!

Ingredients:

Cake:

• 6 eggs,
• 1 cup of sugar,
• 1 cup of all-purpose flour,
• 3/4 teaspoon of baking powder.

Frosting:

• 1 cup (2 sticks) of butter,
• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar,
• 4 tablespoons cocoa powder,
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract,
• 1/3 cup of milk.

Additionally:

• 1 cup of shredded coconut for coating.

Step 1. Start the recipe by preparing the cake. First, whip the egg whites with sugar. Then, add the egg yolks, sifted flour, and baking powder to the bowl.

Step 2. Pour the ready mixture into a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Place the filled pan in a preheated oven for 30 minutes. The oven should be set at 180°C during this time.

Step 3. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting for the future cubes. Combine butter, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and milk in a saucepan on the stovetop. Stir the ingredients using a whisk.

Step 4. Cut the baked and cooled cake into smaller pieces—small squares.

Step 5. Dip each piece in the chocolate mixture, then coat it in shredded coconut.

Step 6. And that's it, enjoy!
