Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Line your cake pan with a baking sheet, leaving the sides covered and the sheet sticking out.

Step 3

Sift and mix the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Step 4

Using a separate (and bigger) bowl, mix sugar with the eggs for about three minutes or until it gets creamy.

Step 5

Add milk and melted butter and continue mixing to combine.

Step 6

Add the dry ingredients and mix gently; just enough to combine.

Step 7

Pour the chocolate cake batter into the lined cake pan.

Step 8

Use an angled spatula to level the top of your kärleksmums.

Step 9

Place the pan in the oven for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out dry when inserted.

Step 10

Set aside to cool.

Step 11

Once the cake has completely cooled, combine the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and water in a small bowl.

Step 12

Spread the icing evenly on top of the cake -- do this quickly, so it does not dry up.

Step 13

Add the dried coconut on top while the icing is still wet.

Step 14

Set aside for about ten minutes for the icing to solidify.

Step 15

Cut kärleksmums into squares, then serve.
