Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, cocoa powder, and salt.

In a separate bowl, cream the melted unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until smooth.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Let the cake cool completely in the pan.

For the icing, melt the unsalted butter and mix with icing sugar and cocoa powder until smooth, then add milk to reach desired consistency.

Cut the cooled cake into squares and dip each square into the chocolate icing.

Roll each chocolate-covered cake square in desiccated coconut until fully coated.
