Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan and line with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together softened butter and eggs until light and fluffy. Gradually add flour mixture and milk, whisking until smooth.
3
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.
4
Once the cake is cool, use a serrated knife to cut it into 1-inch squares. In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth.
5
Dip each cake square into the melted chocolate, coating completely, then roll in toasted coconut flakes to coat. Place the coated cake on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
