raspberry coconut slice

It's slice time with Eds! This was the only thing in AWW we had all the ingredients for without leaving the house, cos Baywatch was on.

Ingredients:

90g butter, softened

½ cup (11g) caster sugar

1 egg

¼ cup (35g) self -raising flour

2/3 cup (100g) plain flour

1 tbsp custard powder (Hmmm, no custard powder. My friend google informs me I can use cornflour instead)

2/3 cup (220g) raspberry jam

Coconut topping:

2 cups (160g) desiccated coconut

¼ cup (55g) caster sugar

2 eggs, beaten slightly

Method:

1. Preheat oven to 180C/160C fan-forced. Grease 20cmx30cm lamington tin; line base with baking paper, extending paper 2cm over long sides.

2. Beat butter, sugar and egg in small bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Transfer mixture to medium bowl; stir in sifted flours and custard powder. Spread into pan; spread with jam.

 

3. Combine ingredients for topping in small bowl.

Sprinkle over jam.

 

4. Bake slice about 40 mins; cool in pan before cutting.

Verdict: Quick, easy and delicious! The absence of custard powder was not an issue at all. Extra amazeballs when eaten fresh out of the oven.
