Ingredients:

• 250 grams of butter
• 150 grams of sugar
• 2 eggs
• A packet of vanilla sugar
• 200 ml of milk
• 300 grams of all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 300 ml milk (for the chocolate dip)
• 80 grams of butter (for the chocolate dip)
• 200 grams of chocolate (adjust the sweetness with an additional 100 grams of sugar if desired)
• Desiccated coconut for coating

Instructions:

1. Cream the butter until fluffy, then gradually add the sugar and mix using a mixer. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition.
2. Stir in the vanilla sugar, then alternately add the milk and the flour and baking powder mixture, mixing until smooth.
3. Pour the dough into a greased and floured baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

5. Once the cake has cooled, cut it into squares. Carefully dip each square into the chocolate mixture, making sure they are well coated.
6. Roll the squares dipped in desiccated coconut until completely covered.
7. Let the squares set slightly before serving so the flavors blend.
