Yield: 12
Ingredients: 150 g butter (halved for the batter and the meringue); 150 g powdered sugar; 5 eggs (whites and yolks separated); 200 g all-purpose flour; 1 packet of baking powder (12 g); 1 tablespoon cocoa; 200 ml milk; a pinch of salt; 200 g granulated sugar; 200 g grated coconut; jam (juicy blueberry or plum, to taste)

Preparation procedure

Preparation of the coconut meringue Whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt and the granulated sugar into stiff peaks. Gently fold the grated coconut into the meringue. Set the finished meringue aside.
Preparation of the cocoa batter Beat the yolks with the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly pour in the milk and continue beating. Sift the flour mixed with baking powder and cocoa into the mixture, fold gently so the batter remains airy.
Layering on the baking sheet Line a baking tray (30 × 25 cm) with parchment paper. Spread the cocoa batter evenly on the bottom. Gently spread a thin layer of jam over the batter.
Spreading the coconut meringue Spread the coconut meringue over the jam so that it covers the entire surface. For even application you can use piping bags or two spoons.
Baking Preheat the oven to 180 °C (fan 160 °C). Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the coconut meringue acquires a faint golden color. For the last 10 minutes you can cover the slices with parchment paper so the meringue doesn't brown too much.
Finishing After taking them out of the oven, let the slices cool for a while directly on the tray. Cut them into squares or rectangles as you like and serve.
