This was the first recipe I tried of my grans.

I love making these beauties although the kitchen sink will have another opinion about this matter. Everything gets coated with chocolate.

Ingredients:

• 2 x cups cake flour.
• 1 x cup castor sugar.
• ½ x cup cooking oil.
• 1 x tsp vanilla essence.
• 1 x tbsp. vinegar.
• 1 x cup water.
• 1 x tsp bicarbonate of soda.

Method:

• Mix the cake flour and bicarbonate of soda together in a bowl.
• In another bowl, mix the water, sugar, oil and vanilla essence together, till all the sugar has been dissolved.
• Pour the water mixture into the flour mixture.
• Whisk until the mixture is smooth and lump free.
• Pour into a greased square pan and bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for 20 – 25 minutes or until the cake tester comes out clean.
• Allow to cool before cutting into squares.

Ingredients for the chocolate coating:

• 1 x cup water.
• 1 x cup sugar.
• 9 x tbsp. cocoa powder.

Method:

• Boil everything together over a low heat until the mixtures doubles in height while boiling.
• Remove from heat and cool.

Take the squares and dip in the chocolate mixture.

Roll in desiccated coconut and it is ready to be served.
