Lindt Gold Milk Bar 300g
Medium
Ingredients
- 200 g caster sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 120 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 60 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- To decorate:
- 100 g Lindt Gold Milk Bar chocolate, chopped (see Tip)
- 180 ml full-fat milk
- 500 g icing sugar
- 270 g desiccated coconut
Method
Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 180°C/160 Fan/Gas 4. Grease and line a 23 x 33-cm / 9 x 13-inch traybake tin with greaseproof paper.
Step 2.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract on high speed for about 10 minutes or until tripled in volume.
Step 3.
In a separate bowl sift together the flour, baking powder and salt.
Step 4.
Using a spatula, fold in the egg mix, followed by the melted butter - try to keep in as much air as possible.
Step 5.
Pour into the prepared tin and smooth over the top. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin.
Step 6.
Meanwhile make the icing: Place the chopped chocolate into a large heat-proof bowl and set aside. Pour the milk into a saucepan and bring to a simmer. Remove from the heat and pour over the chopped chocolate, whisking until melted. Whisk in the icing sugar until smooth. Leave to cool.
Step 7.
When the cake is cool, remove from the tin and slice into 24 equal-sized pieces (about 5 cm square).
Step 8.
Tip the desiccated coconut onto a baking sheet. Dip a cake square in the cooled icing and coat all sides. Allow the excess to drip off. Coat the square in the desiccated coconut and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining squares.
Step 9.
Chill for about 30 minutes - or until the icing has set.
