Lamingtons

• Cooking spray
• 4 large egg whites
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
• 4 large egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 ounces cake flour (about 1 cup)
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup 2% reduced-fat milk
• 2 1/2 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, chopped
• 3 3/4 cups powdered sugar
• 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
• 2 cups reduced-fat unsweetened finely shredded dehydrated coconut

1. Preheat oven to 350u0b0. Coat a 9-inch square metal baking pan with cooking spray; line bottom of pan with parchment paper, allowing parchment paper to extend over edge of pan.
2. Beat egg whites with a mixer at high speed until foamy. Gradually add 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form.
3. Place egg yolks and remaining 6 tablespoons granulated sugar in a medium bowl; beat with a mixer at medium-high speed until thick and pale (about 3 minutes). Beat in vanilla. Gently fold egg yolk mixture into egg white mixture.
4. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, and salt; sift mixture over egg mixture, 1/3 cup at a time; fold in. Spoon batter into prepared pan, spreading evenly. Bake at 350u0b0 for 15 to 20 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool in pan 5 minutes on a wire rack; remove cake from pan, using parchment paper sides as handles. Cool completely on a wire rack (with parchment paper in place). Wrap cake and parchment paper in plastic wrap; chill 2 hours.
5. Remove plastic wrap from cake; place cake (with parchment paper in place) on a cutting board. Cut cake into 16 squares, using a serrated knife.
6. Combine milk and chopped chocolate in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat 2 minutes or until chocolate melts. Remove from heat; stir with a whisk until smooth. Add powdered sugar and cocoa, stirring with a whisk until smooth.
7. Place coconut in a medium bowl. Dip cake squares, 1 at a time, into melted chocolate mixture, using 2 forks to gently turn the cake to coat; scrape off excess chocolate on side of pan. Place chocolate-coated cake in coconut, using 2 forks to gently turn the cake to coat. Place lamingtons on wire rack; let stand 15 minutes or until chocolate is set.
