Instructions
Step 1: Beat the butter and sugar until pale, then add the eggs one at a time.

Step 3: Cool completely, then chill the sponge so it cuts cleanly.

Step 5: Whisk the icing sugar, cocoa, butter and hot milk into a thin icing.
Step 6: Dip each square, let the excess drip off, then roll in desiccated coconut.
