Raspberry Coconut Slice

Raspberry Coconut Slice

From Direne and Katie, my friends shared this recipe with me a few years ago, at first I struggled to make it thought 3 different steps was a pain but you know what it's so easy to make if your organized, The base is a bit sticky and best rolled into place with an extra bit of baking paper, the little bit of effort needed is well worth it for a yummy Slice.

       Base

90 grams softened butter,   ¾ cup Plain Flour,   1 Egg,

¼ cup sugar,    2 Table spoons Cornflour,

• Cream butter, Sugar and egg together, sift flours into creamed mixture then spread evenly over a lined (Baking Paper) tray.
• 

  It is very gooey, so use another sheet of baking tray on top to smooth the batter out properly, it is much easier this way.

Jam Middle

• 3 heaped tablespoons good quality Raspberry jam

               Topping

2 Table spoons Softened butter,    1 ½ cup Coconut,    2 Table spoons Sugar,

2 Table spoons S.R Flour,    1 egg,    ½ teaspoon Vanilla essence,

• Cream butter, sugar, vanilla essence and egg together fold in flour and Coconut,
• Sprinkle evenly over Jam layer.
• Bake on Medium over until Golden brown and smelling wonderful,
• Let cool in tin completely before cutting into slices.
