Preheat the oven to 180°C (top/bottom heat). Line a rectangular baking dish with baking paper. Mix the flour and baking powder and set aside. Beat the softened butter with the sugar mixture until light and fluffy. Add the two eggs and the honey and continue beating. Then add half the flour and half the milk and beat well again. Then add the rest of the flour and the remaining milk and mix well. Pour the batter into the dish and bake for about 30 minutes. Immediately turn out onto a wire rack lined with baking paper and let cool. For the chocolate sauce, mix the sugar, cocoa, milk, and butter in a saucepan and heat gently over medium heat, stirring until foamy. Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Cut the lamingtons into not-too-small cubes. Dip them deeply into the chocolate. Drain off any excess chocolate and immediately roll the cake piece in desiccated coconut. Place on baking paper to dry until the glaze sets. Makes approximately 10 servings. Note: Packaged in a tin, the cake will keep for several days. It makes a great gift.
