Mum A-K's Mocha squares

Growing up, i was lucky to have a "baking" mother.  We always had a delicious selection of cookies in the freezer.
I use to love help her bake and to be allowed to eat the last bit of batter. I have so many childhood favorites but i think these are definitely in the top 5.  








Recipe:

Makes 30-35
Oven temp: 200 C

5 eggs
4 1/2 dl sugar
2 dl water
200g margarine or butter
4 dl all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
2 tbsp coco powder

Glaze:

3 1/2 dl icing sugar
1 tbsp coco powder
4 tbsp melted margarine or butter (60g)
2-3 tbsp strong cold coffee

Garnish:

coconut flakes


Butter a baking tray, 30x40 cm.
Whisk the eggs and sugar until it is light and fluffy. Bowl the water and add the butter in small pieces. Stir it till the butter has melted. Mix in the flour and baking powder and the coco powder.
Add this to the egg mixture and mix well.
Pour it in to the baking tray and bake it in the lower part of the oven for 15 minutes.
Let the cake cool.
Mix the ingredients for the glaze. make sure it's lump free, smooth and glossy.
Spread it over the cake and sprinkle the coconut flakes over it.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
