Chocolate Frosting:  Stir icing sugar, cocoa, butter, milk in bowl over simmering water until smooth.

To assemble:  put the squares of cakes on a wire rack that is placed over a baking sheet (to catch the drips). Spoon chocolate frosting over each square of cake, roll the cake in coconut which is in a pan, covering all sides. Transfer to rack, let it set, repeat with other squares.
