0,5 tsp baking powder
175g butter, melted
Chocolate icing:

5g plain flour
12g cocoa powder
75g caster sugar

Desiccated coconut
Method:
1. Heat the oven to 150°C on the fan setting. Mix egg, milk and vanilla extract in a large bowl. Stir in ground almond, sugar, flour and baking powder until just incorporated into the batter. Add the melted butter.
2. Prepare a round springform by greasing and dusting with desiccated coconut. Pour in the batter and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes. Check with a toothpick to make sure it’s just baked but not too dry. Let the cake cool down whilst you make the icing.
3. Mix all the ingredients for the icing in a pan and gently bring to the boil. Stir continuously whilst boiling gently for 4-5 minutes until it has thickened. Let the icing cool slightly and then ice the cake. Drizzle desiccated coconut over the top.
