Step 1
Preheat oven to 180 ̊C/160 ̊C fan-forced. Grease a 9cm-deep, 11.5cm x 20cm (base) loaf pan. Line base and sides with baking paper, extending 2cm above edges of pan.
Step 2
Using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until combined after each addition. Add cocoa powder. Beat until combined. Stir in flour, coconut and milk, in 2 batches, until combined. Stir in choc chips. Spoon mixture into prepared pan. Smooth top with a spatula.
Step 3
Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the centre of cake comes out clean. Stand in pan for 10 minutes. Lift onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4
Make Chocolate icing: Combine icing sugar and cocoa in a bowl. Gradually stir in hot water until mixture forms a smooth and spreadable consistency. Dollop icing over top of cake, spreading slightly to the edges. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Set aside for 1 hour to set slightly. Serve.
