The delicious favourite with half the mucking around
- 125 g butter (soft)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 3 eggs (or 2 duck eggs)
- 1 1/2 cups plain flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 cup milk (or buttermilk)
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup icing sugar
- 2 tbsp cocoa
- 1/2 cup boiling water
- 2 tbsp butter
-
Beat butter, sugar then vanilla and eggs. Chuck in everything except coconut and give it a good beating for a minute or two. Bake in a slice tin until a skewer come out clean and top has lightly browned. While hot, mix up the icing (it will be super runny, that's the point of it), cut your slice and pour over icing so it soaks in evenly. Sprinkle with coconut.
This is adapted from a recipe of Wendy's. I've changed it a bit but credit where credit is due, the idea was based off hers.
