Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 170C. Grease and line a large baking tray (approx 22*33cm).
  • Beat the sugar and butter together until thick and creamy.
  • Add the eggs a little at a time. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
  • Fold the flour in gently. Do not beat.
  • Pour the mixture into the baking tray and smooth the top with a knife.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Take out of the oven and allow to cool.
  • Melt the chocolate over a bowl of hot water and add the cream a little at a time, stirring well. Pour over the cake and spread evenly, covering the whole cake.
  • When the chocolate topping is cool, but not quite set, decorate with coconut, smarties, mini eggs or whatever else! If you use smarties or mini eggs, it's a good idea to arrange them in lines so that it will be easy to cut the cake into squares.
  • When you are ready, cut into 24 squares and transfer to a serving plate.
