Chocolate Cake with Coconut Icing

This is a simple chocolate cake with a fun coconut icing reminding me of Bounty another British chocolate bar :-), its coconut wrapped in chocolate. So much fun to try and make cakes that taste like candy bars.

What's your favorite, I remember at a doctors office I worked at in the North Carolina mountains they made a mountain dew cake so good. Remember all in moderation!

Ingredients:

• 4 oz of self raising flour 
• 4 oz of butter 
• 4 oz of sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1-2 tablespoon of cocoa
• about 1/4 cup frozen -defrosted shredded coconut or you could use dried
• about 1/4 cup icing sugar
• a little water to mix icing

Method:

1. cream the butter and sugar
2. add the eggs, flour and cocoa 
3. and bake at 350 for 25 minutes until a knife comes out clean
4. for the icing mix the coconut with a little water and the icing sugar till you get a thick consistency 
5. spread onto the cake when its cool, I must confess I didn't wait and ate it warm and gooey :-)

finally here is a cool little fruit/ice cream stand toy we got for Jasmine :-) couldn't resist getting it
