Raspberry & Coconut Slice (Gluten Free & Dairy Free)

Ingredients

  • 250 g gluten free plain flour
  • 220 g golden caster sugar when measuring split this into 2 separate 110g portions
  • 125 g dairy free hard margarine
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • raspberry jam
  • 180 g desiccated coconut

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180 degrees celsius.
  • Grease a rectangular baking tin (around 12 x 10 inches - it wouldn't matter if you had a bigger or smaller tray really, or if it was a different shape, you will be able to judge).
  • Mix together your gluten free flour, 110g of sugar & your dairy free hard margarine until it forms a breadcrumb consistency. (I used an electric whisk for this)
  • Add your vanilla extract and 1 egg to your mixture & mix until it forms a dough like consistency. (I used an electric whisk for this)
  • Bring together the dough into a lump with your hands.
  • Press the dough into your prepared baking tin evenly and bake in the oven till slightly golden.. this will take about 15 minutes.
  • After 15 minutes take the baking tin out of the oven and put to one side briefly.
  • Whisk together for 2 remaining eggs & your other 110g of sugar.
  • Stir in your desiccated coconut. (This is now ready to spread)
  • Spread your raspberry jam all over your base as evenly as you can (it should be slightly warm still, no worries if it isn't this time though).
  • Spread your coconut mixture over the jam & base evenly.
  • Place back in the oven for a further 20 - 25 minutes or until golden.
  • Allow to completely cool in the baking tin before removing and cutting into slices.
  • Enjoy!
