Black-Bottom Coconut BarsIngredients
FOR CHOCOLATE BASE:
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
½ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
FOR COCONUT TOPPING:
2 large eggs
¾ cup sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
1 package (7 ounces) sweetened shredded coconut; ½ cup reserved for sprinkling
Preparations
For chocolate base: Preheat oven to 375°. Line a 9-inch square baking pan
with aluminum foil, leaving a slight overhang;
butter bottom and sides of foil (not overhang).
Place butter in a large microwave-safe bowl; melt in microwave.
Add sugar and salt; whisk to combine. Whisk in egg, then cocoa and
flour until smooth. Spread batter in prepared pan.
Bake just until sides begin to pull away from edges of pan,
10 to 15 minutes (do not overbake). Let cool slightly while
preparing coconut topping. Keep oven on for topping.
For coconut topping: In a medium bowl, whisk eggs with
sugar and vanilla. Gently mix in flour and coconut
(except ½ cup reserved for sprinkling).
Drop mounds of mixture over chocolate base; spread and
pat in gently and evenly with moistened fingers.
Sprinkle with reserved ½ cup coconut.
Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in center comes out
with moist crumbs attached, 25 to 30 minutes.
Cool completely in pan. Lift cake from pan, peel off foil, and
cut into 24 bars.
Store in an airtight container 3 to 4 days.
