Australian sponge cake

Preheat the oven to 175°C (top/bottom heat). Beat the egg whites until stiff, gradually adding the sugar and stirring in. Fold in the egg yolks. Then add the flour and cornstarch. Dissolve 1 teaspoon of butter in the 3 teaspoons of water and stir into the mixture. Pour the batter into a 23 x 23 cm (9 x 9 inch) baking dish lined with baking paper. Bake in the hot oven for approx. 20-25 minutes. Let the cake cool for at least 2 hours, or until completely cold. Then cut into cubes (approx. 5 x 5 cm). Mix the powdered sugar, cocoa, butter, vanilla sugar, and boiling water well. Now toss the cubes in the chocolate sauce on all sides and then roll them all over in the coconut flakes. Makes approx. 20 pieces.
