Method

Using a sharp, serrated knife, trim the ends, top and base off the cake, then cut into 6 pieces. Put on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Break the chocolate into squares and put it in a bowl.
Put the cocoa, sugar and milk in a small pan and whisk together, then heat until boiling. Immediately pour over the chocolate and stir until it melts.
Put the coconut in another bowl.
While the sauce is still hot, take one piece of cake at a time and, using 2 forks, dip it into the sauce and turn until completely covered.
Transfer to the coconut bowl and using another 2 forks turn the cake in the coconut until it is completely covered. Put on a large plate.
Repeat with the other pieces of cake, one at a time. Leave for at least 30 minutes before serving.
