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.
