Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 125g unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup caster sugar
  • 1 cup self-raising flour

Jam Layer

  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam

Coconut Topping

  • 1 cup desiccated coconut
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Cream softened butter with caster sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually fold in self-raising flour to form a soft dough. Press the dough evenly into a lined baking tray to create the base layer.
  2. Bake the Base: Bake the base in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch, providing a sturdy foundation for the toppings.
  3. Add the Raspberry Jam: Allow the base to cool slightly, then spread a generous layer of raspberry jam evenly over it, being careful not to press down to avoid breaking the base.
  4. Coconut Topping Preparation: Combine desiccated coconut and sweetened condensed milk until fully mixed. Spread this mixture evenly over the jam layer for complete coverage.
  5. Final Bake: Return the tray to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the coconut topping turns golden brown and bubbly. Remove and let the slice cool completely in the pan before slicing.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter to achieve a smooth base mixture and even baking.
  • Moderate the amount of jam to prevent sogginess while balancing the richness of the coconut topping.
  • Line your baking tray well with baking paper to ease removal and maintain slice shape.
  • Watch baking times carefully as oven temperatures vary; avoid overbaking to keep the slice moist.
  • Cool completely before cutting to let layers set and achieve clean, neat squares.
