Step 1

Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm slice pan. Lightly grease the baking paper.

Step 2

Pour boiling water over the apricots in a medium bowl; let stand while assembling the rest of the mixture.

Step 3

Sift flour into a large bowl and add coconut and sugar. Stir in butter, add eggs and milk. Fold through drained apricots.

Step 4

Spread the mixture into the pan. Bake 30 minutes or until browned and cooked when tested. Cool for 15 minutes in pan before turning onto a wire rack.

Step 5

In a small bowl, combine icing sugar and lemon juice. To pipe the icing over the slice, place the icing in a medium zip-lock bag. Snip off a very small corner of the bag and drizzle the icing over the slice.
