Trim the edges of the baked cake to make it more square.

Cut the cake into squares, approximately 2 inches high.

Melt 1 stick of unsalted butter in a bowl.

Whisk in 3/4 cup of milk and 3/4 cup of cocoa powder until well combined.

Add a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Gradually mix in 1 1/2 cups of sifted powdered sugar until smooth.

Transfer the chocolate mixture into a bowl for dipping the cake squares.

Prepare 2 cups of desiccated coconut in a separate bowl.

Using two forks, dip the first square of cake into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it is coated on all sides.

Transfer the chocolate-coated cake square into the bowl of desiccated coconut and coat it thoroughly.

Repeat the dipping and coating process for the remaining cake squares.

Place the coated lamingtons in the fridge for 10 minutes to let the chocolate set.
