I doubled the recipe and made this for dessert tonight and to celebrate my silver trophy win at allpoetry.com{Left a thread in EE if you'd like to read what I won and how}. I used nearly 5 tbsps. of cocoa powder, 1 cup of sugar, 1 cup of melted butter, 2 eggs, 2 tsps. of baking powder and 2 cups of all purpose flour. For the filling, I used 1 cup of grated fresh coconut, 1 cup of milk and 2 tbsps. of icing sugar. I baked this at 180C for 40 minutes and then let it sit inside the closed heated oven for 1 hour 15 minutes. It tasted yummy when I served it warm. Very very tasty! Thanks for a great dessert. My guests packed and took some home too:)

Australia
I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving.
I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start.
Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog!
Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years!
I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
