Prepare buttermilk by mixing 1/2 cup milk with 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice and let it sit.

In a bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

In another bowl, cream together soft butter, neutral oil, and caster sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the prepared buttermilk and condensed milk to the butter mixture, followed by vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just mixed.

Pour the batter into a greased and lined baking pan and smooth the top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan.

Prepare the chocolate coating by melting butter with warm milk and cocoa powder, then mix in icing sugar until smooth.

Cut the cooled cake into squares and dip each square into the chocolate coating, allowing excess to drip off.

Roll the chocolate-coated squares in desiccated coconut until fully covered.

Place on a wire rack to set before serving.
