Method
Grease a 350ml mug with a little butter and set aside.
Place the butter in a second mug and microwave for 10–20 seconds until melted.
Add the egg, milk and vanilla to the mug and beat with a fork until combined. Add the sugar, flour and salt and beat again until smooth.
Cook in the microwave for 2 minutes 20 seconds @ 600W, 2 minutes @ 800W or 1 minute 40 seconds @ 1000W. Leave to cool.
Meanwhile, make the icing. Place the butter, cocoa and icing sugar in a mug and microwave for 10–15 seconds until melted. Stir to combine.
Scatter the coconut evenly over a plate. Turn the cooled sponge out of the mug and then dip the entire cake in the chocolate icing. Immediately transfer the chocolate-coated cake to the plate and roll so the coconut is distributed evenly over the surface.
Leave for a few minutes while you wait for the icing to set.
