Heat the oven to 180°C.
Beat together the butter and sugar until creamy. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and the salt and then add to the butter and cream mix. Lightly beat together the eggs and slowly add to the flour mixture, while beating the whole time. Pour in the milk gradually. Mix in the melted chocolate.
Put the cake mixture into a prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes or when the cake is done. When the cake is cooked, invert into a wire rack and leave the cake to cool.
Cover the cake with chocolate cream frosting. Sprinkle coconut flakes over the top.
