Coconut Slice

This recipe is so easy, I just throw all ingredients in a bowl. I don't even sift the flour and it works perfectly every time.

Ingredients

• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 1 pinch salt
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 1 cup coconut
• 125 g butter melted
• 1/2 cup milk
• 2 egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Icing

• 1 1/3 cup icing sugar
• 1 tbs butter
• 2 tbs boiling water
• 1 drop pink liquid food colouring
• 1/2 cup coconut *to decorate

• Method

  • STEP 1Put flour, salt, sugar, coconut and melted butter in a bowl. Mix well.
  • STEP 2Stir in beaten eggs, milk and vanilla.
  • STEP 3Spread mixture into a greased slice tray and bake at 180C for 25-30 minutes.
  • STEP 4Icing: Place icing sugar and butter in a bowl.
  • STEP 5Pour in enough boiling water to make a thick paste.
  • STEP 6Add a drop of food colouring and sprinkle with coconut.

  • Notes

    I make quite a thick icing so it sets hard and ice while still warm as it is easier to spread.
