Kärleksmums

These are a Swedish classic. The name translates to "love-yummy" - who could argue with that?
They remind me a bit of lamingtons, with their thin icing that sort of soaks into the cake, dusted with coconut.

INGREDIENTS

cake

3dl flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
4 Tbsp cocoa
1,5 dl sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract/vanilla sugar
1/3 cup canola oil
1,5 dl milk
1 tsp cider vinegar

icing

1,5-2 dl icing sugar
2 Tbsp strong coffee
1 Tbsp cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
2 Tbsp vegan margarine/oil

1 dl dessicated coconut

METHOD

1. Grease a loaf tin, and put the oven on to 175 degrees Celcius.
2. Mix/sift the dry ingredients together. Add the wet, except for the vinegar. Stir till combined, not over-mixing.
3. At the last minute, add the vinegar and stir through. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.

4. Turn out cake and leave to cool while you prepare the icing. Mix all ingredients (apart from coconut) together to form a smooth icing. It shouldn't be too stiff, but if it's very sloppy then add more icing sugar.
5. Let both icing and cake cool for about five more minutes, then spoon icing over cake. It should run a little down the sides. Sprinkle with coconut.
