Ingredients:

For the cake base:
- 200 g digestive biscuits
- 100 g melted butter
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 50 g sugar

For the filling:
- 200 g grated coconut
- 200 g condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the glaze:
- 200 g dark chocolate
- 50 g coconut oil

Preparation:

1. Preparing the base: Start by crushing the digestive biscuits in a blender or in a bowl using a rolling pin until you get a fine powder. Add the melted butter, cocoa powder, and sugar, mixing well until the mixture becomes homogeneous. This mixture will form the base of the cake, so make sure it is well combined.

2. Forming the base: In a medium-sized baking dish (approximately 20x30 cm), place the biscuit mixture and press it firmly with a spatula or the bottom of a glass, leveling the surface. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, so the base can set.

3. Preparing the filling: In a bowl, combine the grated coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until you obtain a smooth paste. This filling will add that sweet and creamy flavor specific to the Bounty cake.

4. Assembling the cake: Remove the base from the refrigerator and evenly spread the coconut filling over the biscuit base. Make sure it is evenly distributed, then put the cake back in the refrigerator for another 20 minutes.

5. Preparing the glaze: In a bowl over a double boiler, melt the dark chocolate along with the coconut oil, stirring constantly until you achieve a smooth and glossy mixture. This step will give the cake a shiny appearance and an intense flavor.

6. Glazing the cake: Remove the cake from the refrigerator and pour the chocolate glaze evenly over the top. Use a spatula to level it, ensuring it covers the entire surface. Place the cake back in the refrigerator to set the glaze, for about 20 minutes.

7. Serving: Once the glaze has set, cut the cake into equal-sized squares. This is an easy cake to serve, perfect for sharing with loved ones. You can decorate it with coconut flakes or grated chocolate for an even more attractive appearance.

Useful tips:
- You can also add a splash of rum to the coconut filling to enhance the flavor.
- Replace the digestive biscuits with chocolate cookies for a more decadent version.
- This cake can be stored in the refrigerator for a few days, but be sure it won’t last long, considering its delicious taste!

With the mixer, beat the butter with the sugar, then add the eggs one at a time, followed by the milk, and finally the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. Pour the mixture into a baking tray lined with parchment paper (my tray measures 40 X 29 cm) and bake for about 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C. Once baked, let the cake cool completely. Heat the milk and butter. When the butter has melted, add the semolina and cook over low heat, stirring, until thickened. Once thickened, add the sugar, coconut, and vanilla essence. Let it cook for about 1 more minute, then remove from heat. While warm, spread it over the cake. Melt the chocolate and butter (over low heat, in a double boiler, or in the microwave), and after they have melted, add the rum and mix well. Spread the glaze over the cream. I sprinkled coconut flakes on top. For coconut or Bounty chocolate lovers (including myself), this cake is DELICIOUS! The Bounty cake recipe was proposed by Georgy-Anna on the culinary forum. Serve the Bounty cake chilled, after the glaze has set.
