Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg C (350 deg F) – spray a 20 x 30 cm ( 9 x 12 inch ) oven dish with cooking oil
Cream together the Butter and Sugar until light and fluffy
Add the Flour, Baking Powder and Salt – beat on medium until smooth
Stir in the Coconut and transfer to the prepared oven dish (it is a somewhat dry mixture) – press into all corners and make equal on top – bake 20 – 25 minutes
Remove from the oven
Immediately after removing the cake from the oven – mix together the Icing Sugar, Cocoa and boiling Water – it must be a runny consistency
Pour the Icing mixture over the hot cake and leave to cool completely – sprinkle with Chocolate Chips once cooled, but not set (if using)
Chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to fully set before cutting into bars
