These coconut cake squares are baked in two stages: first, the cocoa cake base is partially baked, then topped with a thick cream made from milk, sugar, flour, and coconut flakes. Plain batter is poured over the cream, and the cake is baked again. Once cooled, it is topped with chocolate glaze and sprinkled with coconut.
A single batch of batter, divided in half, makes both cake layers.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Cook the coconut cream
Cook the milk, sugar, all-purpose flour, and coconut flakes together until thick. Let cool, stirring occasionally.
Prepare the batter
Beat the whole eggs with the sugar and a pinch of salt until thick and foamy. Gradually pour in the oil while continuing to beat, then fold in the flour and baking powder. Divide the batter in half. Mix the cocoa powder into one half and the milk into the other.
Partially bake the cocoa base
Pour the cocoa batter into a greased pan dusted with coarse wheat flour, approximately 32 × 22 cm. Bake at 180 °C (350 °F) for 15 minutes.
Add the cream and plain batter
Spoon the coconut cream onto the cake base and smooth it out, then pour the plain batter over the top. Bake for another 25 minutes at 170 °C (340 °F), then let cool.
Add the glaze
Melt the chocolate with the butter and milk. Pour over the cooled cake and sprinkle with coconut.

Tip: The coconut cream thickens as it cools; if it becomes difficult to spread, whisk in a tablespoon of milk and spread it over the cake base with a wet spatula.
