Ingredients:
For the cake base:
- 200 g digestive biscuits
- 100 g melted butter
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 50 g sugar
For the filling:
- 200 g grated coconut
- 200 g condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the glaze:
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 50 g coconut oil
Preparation:
1. Preparing the base: Start by crushing the digestive biscuits in a blender or in a bowl using a rolling pin until you get a fine powder. Add the melted butter, cocoa powder, and sugar, mixing well until the mixture becomes homogeneous. This mixture will form the base of the cake, so make sure it is well combined.
2. Forming the base: In a medium-sized baking dish (approximately 20x30 cm), place the biscuit mixture and press it firmly with a spatula or the bottom of a glass, leveling the surface. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, so the base can set.
3. Preparing the filling: In a bowl, combine the grated coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until you obtain a smooth paste. This filling will add that sweet and creamy flavor specific to the Bounty cake.
4. Assembling the cake: Remove the base from the refrigerator and evenly spread the coconut filling over the biscuit base. Make sure it is evenly distributed, then put the cake back in the refrigerator for another 20 minutes.
5. Preparing the glaze: In a bowl over a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate along with the coconut oil, stirring constantly until you achieve a smooth and glossy mixture. This step will give the cake a shiny appearance and an intense flavor.
6. Glazing the cake: Remove the cake from the refrigerator and pour the chocolate glaze evenly over the top. Use a spatula to level it, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Place the cake back in the refrigerator to set the glaze, for about 20 minutes.
7. Serving: Once the glaze has set, cut the cake into equal-sized squares. This is an easy cake to serve, perfect for sharing with loved ones. You can decorate it with coconut flakes or grated chocolate for an even more attractive appearance.
Useful tips:
- You can also add a splash of rum to the coconut filling to enhance the flavor.
- Replace the digestive biscuits with chocolate cookies for a more decadent version.
- This cake can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, but be sure it won’t last long, considering its delicious taste!
