Ingredients:

1/2 cup butter
110g
3/4 cup sugar
150g
2 eggs
100g
1 cup self-raising flour
150g
1/2 cup dried coconut meat
72g
1/3 cup dry cocoa powder
50g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g
1/3 cup dark chocolate
72g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
2. Prepare the Butter and Sugar:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
3. Add the Eggs:
- Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Continue to beat until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the self-raising flour, dried coconut meat, and cocoa powder until evenly mixed.
5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
6. Add Milk:
- Pour in the milk and gently fold it into the batter with a spatula until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are well incorporated.
7. Fold in Dark Chocolate:
- Gently fold the chopped dark chocolate into the batter until evenly distributed.
8. Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
9. Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
10. Cool:
- Allow the cakes to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Serve:
- Once completely cooled, serve the Choc Coconut Cakes and enjoy. These cakes can be enjoyed plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of melted chocolate on top.

Tips:

- Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start. This helps in achieving a smooth batter and better texture.

- Even Mixing: Mix your batter until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense cakes.

- Use Quality Chocolate: Opt for high-quality dark chocolate for a richer taste and better melt.

- Coconut Texture: If you prefer a finer texture, you can pulse the dried coconut meat in a food processor before adding it to the batter.

- Baking Time: Keep an eye on the cakes while baking. Insert a toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, the cakes are done.

There you have it – delicious choc coconut cakes that are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. The combination of chocolate and coconut provides a unique and delightful flavor profile, making these cakes a favorite for both kids and adults. Enjoy your baking and happy eating!
