INGREDIENTS
- 185g all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 40g corn flour
- 200g unsalted butter, at room temperature
- 230g sugar
- 2tsp vanilla extract
- 4 eggs, at room temperature
- 125ml milk, at room temperature
- 1 jar of Jars of Goodness Paradise in a Jar
For the cocoa glaze
- 50g Melted Butter
- 160ml Whole Milk, warm
- 45g Cocoa Powder
- 250g Icing Sugar
- A good pinch of Salt
METHOD
- Grease and line a 17 x 27cm cake pan. Preheat the oven to 160C (fan assisted) or 180C for non-fan assisted.
- Mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder and corn flour together in a bowl.
- Place the butter and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer and beat until light and fluffy.
- Alternatively use a hand mixer to beat.
- Add the vanilla and eggs one at a time, mixing until homogenous each time.
- Add the dry ingredients and gently beat to combine.
- Finally add the milk and mix again. The mixture will be quite thick.
- Spread the mixture in the prepared pan and bake for approx. 30-35 minutes. It should be golden and spring back. Allow to cool in the pan.
- Once cooled, trim all the edges of the cake and then divide into 2 equal size portions. Cut
- along the length of the cake. On one of the sponges, spread the jam until the entire surface is covered. Place the second sponge on top creating a “sandwich”. Use a serrated knife to cut 6 equal portions.
FOR THE COCOA GLAZE
- Mix all of the ingredients together until smooth.
- Dunk each cake sandwich into the cocoa glaze, making sure all sides are thoroughly coated and then toss in desiccated coconut until totally covered.
